Interventional radiology: From sidelines to mainstream for patients
Date:5/12/2009

, interventional radiologists are formalizing their clinical role with offices, doing rounds and providing formalized consultation," added Stainken.

"As members of the medical house of radiology, interventional radiologists differ greatly from diagnostic radiologists. Interventional radiologists are hands-on clinicianswho are known as innovative problem solvers and critical resources in tough medical situationsand expert board-certified radiologists. Interventional radiologists are a dozen subspecialist doctors rolled into one," said Stainken.

According to the resolution, ACR "recognizes the importance of the development of a clinical service by interventional radiologists in order to appropriately manage patients." ACR, which "opposes any attempt to prohibit vascular and interventional radiologists from being granted admitting and other clinical privileges based solely on their designation as radiologists," affirmed the importance of vascular and interventional radiologists "establishing physicianpatient relationships that are also customarily maintained by other physicians who provide comparable services."

ACR encourages and supports the establishment of interventional radiology clinical services within the practice of radiology groups, including establishment of an adequate clinical team; adequate space dedicated for clinical visits; inpatient admitting service; dedicated time for seeing inpatients and patients in a clinic; noninvasive vascular laboratory; clerical services for scheduling, insurance authorization and billing of procedures and evaluation/management services; and support for time and materials for promotional and educational efforts.
