TRYING TO DO MORE WITH LESS With all the changes in the healthcare system over the past few years, most of the clients we’ve recently worked with have faced with a similar situation – older outdated x-ray equipment, and the inability to upgrade it. Be it because of limited capital, lower reimbursements, or just plain uncertainty over how things will turn out, many hospitals have simply had to continue using older x-ray equipment until it dies or until they are in a position to replace it with a new system, whenever that may be.For those who find themselves in a similar situation with an older CT scanner system that needs replacing, help may be on the way. Recent legislation passed by the Senate (H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014) includes reimbursement reductions for CT equipment that does not meet certain radiation dose optimization standards by January of 2016. So, you may not only want to but need to consider upgrading your CT imaging system soon.‍
