Strategic decision-making at the practice will be enhanced with Web-based business intelligence and reporting tools, which are designed to enable direct access to the group’s financial data. “The growing complexity of documentation and coding can leave radiology practices vulnerable to costly errors and regulatory challenges,” said Pat Leonard, senior vice president and general manager, McKesson Revenue Management Solutions. “With the industry’s largest number of certified coders, we can help innovative practices like Radiology Associates of South Florida minimize risk, optimize revenue and improve patient care.” About Radiology Associates of South Florida One of the largest radiology practices in the country, Radiology Associates of South Florida has been providing diagnostics radiology and expert interventional radiology/vascular surgery services to Miami-Dade County residents since 1968.
