With one third of radiologists citing feelings of burnout and the healthcare industry as a whole navigating revenue losses and declines in volumes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, innovative technological solutions are needed more than ever—but smaller, independent practices are often unable to bear the significant costs involved.
With one third of radiologists citing feelings of burnout and the healthcare industry as a whole navigating revenue losses and declines in volumes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, innovative technological solutions are needed more than ever—but smaller, independent practices are often unable to bear the significant costs involved.
To tackle this problem, Strategic Radiology is teaming up with Intelerad to bring cloud-based medical image management solutions to more than 1,300 radiologists across the United States. The national coalition of privately owned, quality-focused radiology groups announced the partnership last month.

The agreement gives practices access to a suite of solutions designed to work together for optimized performance and workflow, increased collaboration, reduced burnout, and better overall patient care. Strategic Radiology member groups of all sizes can leverage innovative technology such as:
- InteleOne® XE cross-enterprise diagnostic imaging platform
- nuage® Cloud Imaging Platform, including its picture archiving and communication system (PACS) IntelePACS®
- Clario SmartWorklist, a personalized and context-aware enterprise imaging solution designed to intelligently manage reading workflow
Rome Radiology Group, a leader in imaging technology serving Northwest Georgia and East Alabama for nearly 50 years and member of Strategic Radiology, has already signed on to leverage Intelerad’s InteleOne® XE platform through the SR Enterprise License and is projected to save 36% on IT costs in the first year alone.
“Together with Intelerad, we’re thrilled to now provide our member groups access to rich solutions that increase productivity,” said Scott A. Bundy, MD, FACR, and CEO of Strategic Radiology. “This win-win partnership directly advances Strategic Radiology’s mission of improving lives by creating superior radiology value, and we look forward to bringing innovative new solutions to our members to continuously help them thrive.”
