Mid-Atlantic Health System Sees 65% Decrease in Patient Leakage with Outpatient Imaging Partnership

At this 10-hospital health system based in the Mid-Atlantic, an estimated 95% of imaging referrals were leaving the system network due to long appointment waiting times, limited centers, and a lack of imaging options in the outpatient setting.
