Radiology’s Workforce Challenge Isn’t Solved by Hiring Alone

August 12, 2026

At RBMA SYNC 2026, Zotec will demonstrate how automation, analytics and smarter RCM technology can extend practice resources

Zotec Partners will join radiology business leaders at RBMA 2026 SYNC, October 4–6, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to demonstrate how practices can use automation, artificial intelligence and better revenue cycle intelligence to address growing workforce and operational pressures.

Radiology continues to face a difficult equation: increasing imaging demand coupled with workforce constraints, reimbursement pressure, payer complexity and rising administrative requirements. Those pressures are forcing practices to rethink where people are needed and where technology can take work out of the system.

For Zotec, the answer is not simply adding automation. It is applying technology to repetitive, high-friction processes while giving people better information to focus their expertise where it can make the greatest impact.

At RBMA SYNC, Zotec will demonstrate how technology can perform more of the routine work within the revenue cycle while identifying the exceptions and opportunities that require human expertise.

“Radiology leaders are being asked to accomplish more without simply adding more people to the equation,” said Howard Pingston, NVP of Radiology Sales at Zotec Partners. “Technology should help extend the capabilities of your existing team—automating routine work, surfacing meaningful exceptions and giving leaders the information they need to make better decisions about their practice.”

Attendees can explore Zotec’s radiology-specific coding and documentation technology, which combines automation with human quality oversight to support coding accuracy, efficiency and scalability.

Visitors can also experience CZAR, Zotec’s comprehensive analytics and reporting platform, and see how radiology practices can monitor measures including coding turnaround, payments, denials, accounts receivable, payer performance and payments per RVU.

Zotec will demonstrate ZiTCH, its intelligently timed claim hold technology designed to use data to determine when strategically delaying submission of certain claims can improve reimbursement, as well as Z-Check, Zotec’s insurance discovery technology that can identify coverage and help resolve revenue that might otherwise move toward bad debt.

The Zotec team will also showcase patient financial engagement, denial and appeal management, interoperability and other technologies designed to reduce friction across high-volume radiology revenue cycles.

Beyond technology demonstrations, attendees can talk directly with Zotec’s radiology specialists about the operational challenges facing their practices—from staffing and coding capacity to payer behavior, patient responsibility and revenue visibility.

RBMA SYNC attendees can visit Zotec at booth #16 or schedule a dedicated demonstration with Zotec’s radiology team to explore where technology could create additional capacity within their practice.
