For facilities that currently offer MRI services, consider the following:
MRI Mobile will give you increased capacity with no capital investment
MRI Mobile is an easy way to provide a "capacity relief valve"-instead of attempting to justify the purchase of a second magnet to your Chief Financial Officer (CFO)!
If you're losing scans to competing facilities because you can't fit patients into your jammed schedule until two weeks from now, consider MRI Mobile as a smart solution. Open up your tight schedule with an MRI Mobile unit on premise for one to two days per week, or more, if you need us.
Many of our clients have welcomed the total package of having an MRI Mobile van and technologist, saving them the time and money it takes to recruit a certified technologist to run a rental machine. Alternatively, we can meet your temporary, short-term, or long-term, needs with optional equipment-only rentals.
Simply give us a call and we'll make an arrangement that works for you.
MRI Mobile gives you a bridge during an existing magnet upgrade
If you're about to upgrade your old MRI magnet, your new magnet installation may shut down your MRI scanning capabilities for weeks, if not months. MRI Mobile offers you a "bridge," so you can continue offering the same quality of service your patients have come to count on while your old magnet is removed and the new one is set into place.
Over the years we have helped a number of facilities profit from this aspect of our service. We can do the same for you.
MRI Mobile lets you test drive state-of-the-art imaging technology
If you've come to realize that your current magnet isn't capable of the "latest and greatest" in applications and a new CPU or software won't get you there either, consider MRI Mobile high field magnets as a means to "test drive" the new equipment that you may be considering.
We make it easy for you to evaluate the most current magnet capabilities for a few months (or longer) right on your own campus.
Our MRI Mobile vans are all American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited and deliver exceptional diagnostic image quality using the latest software applications.
Perhaps all you'll need to make you comfortable in your decision is a few weekends worth of coverage so your radiologists can see what it would be like to have that new system on your campus. MRI Mobile may be an easy answer to a tough multi-million dollar equipment decision. Use us as your "test drive" for your magnet decision.
MRI Mobile gives you highly trained ARRT technologists
As you know, in the MRI business, here lies "the difference that makes all the difference". All other things being equal, it's the technologist that creates outstanding imaging. All of our technologists are American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) trained-at a minimum-with many achieving MR-certification as well. Our ongoing training is intensive-including annual re-certification in advanced MR applications, internal training, and certification programs on patient interaction, handling, safety, and emergency procedures.
Each of our technologists is an expert armed with cross training on General Electric, Siemens, and other MR systems. Each has also developed a patient sensitivity that money simply can't buy.
As a company, we are keenly aware that the experience of your patients in our MRI Mobile van reflects as much (or more) on your facility as it does on our service to you. We work hard to make our relationship transparent to your community and we are committed to total professionalism and patient sensitivity that reflects the reputations that we've both worked long and hard to earn.
MRI Mobile gives you flexible scheduling
We always work with our partners to develop the schedule that best meets their needs. We always stay for the "add-ons" during our service days, and if you'll allow us to do your patient scheduling, we will know when you need additional days of service -before you have to ask for it.
A true partner should be looking out for the best interest of both parties. With your input, we may decide that evening or weekend hours make it more convenient for your market area to take advantage of your services. We'll be there when you need us!
MRI Mobile gives you contracting flexibility
A contract is either a litany of individual transactions or the beginning of a problem-solving partnership. We choose to approach our agreements as the latter. We work closely with you to design win/win/win relationships, knowing that when you and your patients are winning, it is the only time that we really win.
Through our discussions with you, we try to anticipate not only current, but also future needs, and address them in plain and simple language.
If your goal is simply to expand services to your community, that is our goal as well. If your goal is to grow your MRI business to where two years from now you install and run your own magnet, we'll write an agreement that gives you the flexibility to do that. If you're nervous about getting started, we even have a "zero-risk" alternative: Instead of a per-scan fee arrangement, this option enables you to view your own numbers so you can do your own billing and base your decisions on your actual results.
The contracting choices are yours.
MRI Mobile gives you no surprises
As a company, we know that communication is the foundation of a good relationship with our partner facilities, and we are committed to building this foundation every day. We work closely with our partners to make sure everyone fully understands the expectations for documentation, protocols, patient care procedures, and more (not to mention code blue, fire, and general safety!).
From the initial agreement to the arrival of our start-up team to our ongoing daily operations, communication is always key. And we believe it should be direct and simple-not automated, with a touch-tone menu between us!
MRI Mobile gives you image quality that rivals fixed-site magnets
American College of Radiology (ACR) magnet accreditation, held by better than 60 percent of the nation's hospitals, has become the "gold standard" for ensuring the highest quality scanning capabilities. MRI Mobile was among the first in the nation to achieve this distinction in the late 1990s, and we continue to utilize a fleet of American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited General Electric and Siemens high-field magnets.
Our magnets are continually upgraded and fully equipped to provide state-of-the-art, quality diagnostic images. Each of our vans carries a full complement of body-specific coils to ensure that the final image is the absolute best it can be.
Coupled with on-board, dry-laser cameras and DiCom capabilities, our final image products rival that of many fixed-site hospital systems. In addition, all of our magnets are maintained under strict original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) maintenance agreements that yield a very enviable 99 percent uptime record.
MRI Mobile gives you site planning services
As part of MRI Mobile's total-service approach, we work with your facility managers and IT department to ensure that equipment placement is optimal, and that all information-technology components (network hook-ups, DiCom cabling, etc.) are set to work correctly from the start. We will be with you every step of the way, down to securing the necessary power connectors and even giving input on where to locate the concrete pad, if necessary.
MRI Mobile gives you "start-up" teams for total integration and rapid turn on
After the agreement is finalized, we deploy a "start up" team that will visit your campus prior to our first full day of operation. The object of the visit is to ensure greater understanding and communication between your staff and ours.
Our team will meet with your designated staff to discuss your current processes, procedures, etc. We will then collaborate with you to establish and document agreed-upon procedures for all aspects of our service to your patients and physicians. By the end of our visit, your staff will be comfortable with what to expect on the initial day of service and beyond. They will be provided with appropriate phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, and names of individuals who can answer any questions, as well as a hard copy of materials for easy reference. In this manner, each partner can understand the expectation levels of the other, and we can build a high confidence level between our organizations from day one.
What MRI Mobile WON'T give you:
You will get our total commitment to perform to the highest possible MRI standards. However, we won't give you:
- A hard time when you ask us to add on a patient at the end of the day
- Extra charges for more than the "standard" number of sequences on a tough patient
- Unreasonable "minimums" just to show up
- Old equipment that isn't ACR-accredited and that is out of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) -maintenance age
- Poor image quality because we don't have the appropriate coils to do the job right
- Old software that is incapable of running the newer applications
- A parade of different technologists that don't know your protocols
- Rigid contracts that don't meet your changing needs, like not having an "out clause" when you're ready to install your own magnet
- And other equally unsettling performance and partnership arrangements buried in the fine print.
MRI Mobile is an ideal alternative for facilities looking for creative ways to add revenue while containing infrastructure costs. We offer a complete outsourcing package that can provide you with world-class MRI service on your campus in a matter of weeks.
