Survey: Is your practice Walmart, Tiffany's or IBM?

An article in the March issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology looked at the value disciplines in radiology business models, and Health Imaging wants to know where your practice fits in.

First, check out our summary of the different value models here, then head over to our one-question survey to let us know how you see your practice. Survey results will be published March 25, and business strategies applicable to the three models will be presented in another upcoming newsletter.

As always, thank you for the input.
