David J. Law, Chief Client Officer, Zotec Partners
Zotec Partners had the privilege of attending the RSNA 2024 Annual Meeting, where the energy and dedication of the radiology community were on full display. Throughout the event, our radiology team connected with radiologists, practice leaders, and healthcare executives to discuss the challenges shaping their practices in 2025. These conversations not only highlighted shared concerns but also illuminated opportunities for Zotec to offer meaningful support and innovation.
Addressing Key Concerns for 2025
1. Visibility to Meaningful and Actionable Data
Radiology leaders emphasized the need for better data insights to drive operational and financial decisions. Zotec’s advanced analytics platform equips practices with real-time, actionable data, enabling leaders to identify trends, optimize performance, and make informed decisions with confidence. By translating complex datasets into meaningful narratives, we empower radiology practices to thrive in an increasingly data-driven healthcare landscape.
2. Enhancing the Patient Experience
Improving the patient financial journey is critical to fostering trust and satisfaction. Zotec’s Patient Financial Experience solutions prioritize transparency, convenience, and compassion, offering patients flexible payment options and clear, understandable billing processes. Our team shared how this approach not only enhances patient satisfaction but also streamlines collections for radiology groups.
3. Navigating Hospital Stipends
Many radiology leaders expressed concerns about securing and negotiating stipends with hospitals. Zotec’s expertise in managing hospital relationships and aligning financial goals ensures that practices maintain the stability they need to deliver exceptional care. We provide data-driven support to help practices demonstrate their value and negotiate successfully.
4. Addressing the Radiologist Shortage
The shortage of radiologists is an ongoing challenge, making it essential to maximize efficiency and retain top talent. Zotec’s tools and workflows are designed to reduce administrative burdens, allowing radiologists to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional patient care. Our technology also helps practices optimize scheduling and resource allocation, ensuring they can do more with less.
5. Finding and Retaining Talent
The difficulty in hiring and retaining skilled staff is a pressing issue for many radiology groups. Zotec partners with practices to streamline operations, enabling teams to work more effectively and fostering a positive work environment. By handling complexities such as revenue cycle management and compliance, we allow practices to focus on building a supportive culture for their teams.

The RSNA 2024 Annual Meeting reaffirmed Zotec’s commitment to understanding and addressing the unique needs of radiology practices. By engaging directly with leaders in the field, we gained valuable insights into their challenges and priorities, ensuring that our solutions align with their goals for 2025 and beyond.
