THE POTENTIAL OF INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY The Clinical and

THE POTENTIAL OF INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY The Clinical and Economic Value of an IR Practice

2 IR Is Modern Medicine • Through a tiny incision in the skin, interventional radiologists deliver precise, targeted treatment • Life-threatening conditions — such as cardiovascular disease, stroke or cancer — are treated less invasively than traditional surgery • This often reduces risks, shortens recovery times and improves health outcomes

3 Achieve the Triple Aim • Improve the patient care experience — including quality and safety • Reduce the (per capita) cost of health care • Improve the health of populations

4 Less Is More IR enables you to deliver more quality care, less invasively, so you can: • Minimize risk to the patient • Shift care to less expensive outpatient settings • Increase patient throughput

5 Improve the Patient Experience Use of clinical IR procedures can: • Shorten recovery times • Enhance the patient experience • Improve health outcomes All key metrics promoted in alternative payment models

6 Improve Health of Underserved Can help extend resources to enable: Hospitals to provide more indigent care by using fewer hospital resources to reduce cost and maximize reimbursement under value-based payment models More low- and fixed-income patients to afford care by reducing cost of episodes of care (vs. open surgery, etc. ), thus reducing the dollar amount of patient co-payments, etc.

7 Poised for Growth • IR is expanding throughout health care — driven by the proliferation of minimally invasive therapies • IR has the potential to be a significant opportunity for hospital outpatient growth and cross-service line integration • Hospitals can leverage interventional oncology to take part in research opportunities, including the $1 billion Cancer Moonshot

8 Interventional Oncology Interventional oncology is poised for growth, driven by the proliferation of minimally invasive therapies — including: Percutaneous ablations using radiofrequency, cryotherapy or microwave Transcatheter therapies, including Y-90 radioembolization and chemoembolization MR-guided, high-intensity focused ultrasound and others

9 Collaborative Teams Interventional radiologists are integral members of patient care teams: • Team up with other specialists — delivering innovative solutions to today’s toughest medical problems • Maintain and foster developed relationships across departments in performing a wide array of procedures • Promote innovation and silo-busting that will benefit patients and the care delivery system

10 Longitudinal Care Interventional radiologists provide longitudinal patient care: • Participate actively in hospital acute setting and the outpatient setting • Provide treatment plans for patients • Follow up with patients and other physicians to monitor health and determine if the treatment plan is being administered effectively

11 IR Is a Primary Specialty • IR residency programs accept interventional and diagnostic radiology residents • Doctors who complete this training can be board certified in both diagnostic and interventional radiology • These steps will increase the current IR workforce to fuel clinical practices nationwide • Health systems can stay ahead of this curve by starting a clinical IR practice now
