Less than a decade after fears about managed care drove medical students away from subspecialty training, the health care industry faces a deepening shortage of radiologists. Radiologists feel the shortage through busier days, longer hours, and recruitment difficulties. The shortage places many hospitals in a precarious position because diagnostic imaging is both a clinical necessity and a strong financial performer. However, radiology groups are prospering by redefining their relationship with hospitals and developing collaborative strategies.
在对管理式医疗的担忧导致医学生放弃专科培训不到十年后，医疗行业面临着放射科医生日益严重的短缺问题。放射科医生从日益忙碌的工作、更长的工作时间和招聘困难中感受到了短缺。由于诊断成像既是临床必需，又能带来可观的经济效益，短缺使许多医院处于不稳定的境地。然而，放射科团队通过重新定义与医院的关系并制定合作策略而蓬勃发展。
