Expanding roles for radiology administrators.
In a fast-moving trend, radiology administrators are being asked to assume responsibility for other hospital departments. Pressure to reduce costs is the primary force behind restructuring that results in expanded roles for managers. The changes mean fewer management positions and increased responsibilities for those who retain their jobs. To maximize their opportunities for success, radiology administrators should actively seek expanded duties; cultivate the support of medical leadership; use mentors, professional literature and organizations such as the AHRA to gear up for new responsibilities; and recognize negotiation and presentation skills as extremely valuable assets.
