Every business has a growth engine, similarly, Teleradiology Service Platforms or Business Units also look out for growth engines. In secular businesses, there are thousands of factors that constitute on revenue and cost side as Growth Engine. But in telereporting business, growth engine should propel the reporting unit forward and bring attention of widely scattered diagnostic facilities to feed reporting hunger of incumbent radiologists and excel reporting.
Any 'telereporting unit' can continuously improve its visibility through various means like more exchanges with the surrounding ecosystem. It may not give results sommer but in the long term it is factored into growth. Growth does not only mean acquisition of more radiologists or staff. It means the stakeholders have been happy about the particular unit.
The challenges are many, especially the falling standard of tele-reporting and under output from teleporting radiologists. This challenge would require turn around over work-flow, coordination with the stakeholders, improvement in TAT and insisting on high quality work from fellow radiologists. It is well understood in ordinary thinking that that quality comes at price but in Industrial Engineering thinking quality comes not at cost but avoiding re-work. The cost of less quality is higher than the cost of high quality in the first go.
After studying the Growth Engines models of some teleporting platforms, TeleradiologyHub analysis wing suggests that never to keep running after high volume work without knowing your limits but work 100% on what you have in hand first. It is not just important to spend time on reporting but also going back to understand the stakeholders in the territory of the reporting process. Right spending time with the stakeholders can help in refining the reporting process and getting connected to dots who are potentially helpful in raising the bar both qualitatively and quantitatively. The growth Engines require units to make some simple thumb rules to practice everyday. Thumb rules are different from the principles or rules. For Example: Get the Clinical Data and Talk to the Referring Doctor at any given time is a thumb rule.
The best way to grow is to be compassionate and humanistic in the approach. Our services should be smart but our people should be listening to other people establish dialogues inside or outside.
