In the Trenches: How Radiology Groups are Navigating the Reporting Transition

Radiology reporting is undergoing its biggest transformation in over a decade as organizations respond to vendor-driven market changes, workflow inefficiencies and broader efforts to modernize and future-proof their technology environments. While many organizations know change is coming, successfully navigating a reporting transition requires far more than selecting a vendor — it demands thoughtful planning, effective change management and a clear strategy for minimizing disruption.

This is a candid discussion with radiology leaders who have firsthand experience planning, implementing and optimizing a reporting transition. They share practical lessons learned, how they approached change management and risk mitigation, what surprised them and how they managed challenges along the way.

It is an honest, peer-to-peer conversation about what a successful reporting transition looks like in practice, and why the right partnership can be just as important as the technology itself.

Objectives:

• Understand how organizations are approaching reporting transitions and the factors driving change today 
• Learn practical strategies for managing risk, building stakeholder alignment and minimizing disruption during implementation
• Identify key considerations for planning, implementing and optimizing a successful reporting transition
• Hear lessons learned, including challenges, surprises and best practices, from organizations that have recently undergone a reporting transition
