Mobile nuclear medicine assistance is a great opportunity for the common people to get in shape their health. This enormous step is also a big challenge for the medical team to bring their services to a bigger level allowing everyone to conquer from them.

These services are helped by special projects and organizations in order to offer their helping hand to the majority of the population. The most important thing is that they are fully equipped and bring the nuclear medicine imaging office in front of the patient’s door. When the mobile clinic is set up on the particular location, it is ready to give the people right instructions about the imaging department. Another great thing is that the mobile clinic offers their imaging equipment together with their other medical devices which create a special atmosphere so the patient can feel like he is in a hospital-imaging center.

The advantages of mobile nuclear imaging system
The two greatest benefits are convenience and also the affordability. These services totally eliminate the inconvenience the patient feel when they have to travel long distances in order to obtain special diagnostic imaging from specific healthcare providers.

The quote “Keep it regional and accessible” is a perfect match for these services because they are located in the patient’s hometown or region.

Mobile medical nuclear imaging centers in most of the cases offer admission tax per scan. By this option, the patient is sure that he pays only for what he has used.

“Observing the details” is another great and qualitative solution because each department gives a special focus and attention on their responsibilities. These mobile clinics take total care of their patients from their set-up to taking images and processing the obtained data.

Another very important advantage is that they are using the latest technology so they can ensure patients that their results could be read easily and quickly. Mobile nuclear medical assistance offers their patients an alternative to choose how they want to see their diagnostic results. The following options are considered:

  • Online System for viewing images. It allows express and immediate access to the patient photos from different web-connected PC. There is no need for obtaining special viewing software.
  • PACS or some other viewing system which is similar to this one.
  • Some mobile applications which are able to provide a complete image of the patient case
  • CD/DVD depending on specific request

But, remember that every mobile service has its own medical devices which are different and can offer more or fewer options. However, the benefits of mobile nuclear imaging services are significant. The exam provides a non-invasive and at the same time painless test which is able to detect problems at the molecular level.

How does this mobile imaging service look like?
All medical devices are located in medical trailers. Their interior space ensures maximum quality medical gear with the rest of necessary accessories such as phone line, digital interfacing, DICOM III connectivity, and data ports.

The outside of this type of Mobile Medical Nuclear Trailer is created to match in with the external background and because of this many of them don’t have logos or also emblems. Almost every trailer has hydraulic patient lifts in order to ensure convenience, safety, and protection for all staff and for the patients too.

Most of the manufacturers of these mobile trailers have some offers for creating special designed mobile nuclear imaging center which would be built according to specifications from some hospital or organizations.

Information for the PATIENTS: Explanation of the nuclear medical exam
For those patients who are interested in this event, it is good to know that nuclear imaging process is a specialized part of the diagnostic radiology. The procedure enables medical physicians to evaluate the condition of bones, organ function in order to detect some kind of disease or infection or some other dysfunction. These images, which represent specific processes in the human body, are later used to treat a variety of conditions which can’t be detected or seen on other imaging exams. Another thing that should be taken into consideration is that nuclear imaging identifies many abnormalities in an early stage of the progression of some disease.

Summary
The idea of delivering mobile nuclear imaging assistance in every area is a great initiative. This means that every person will be more interested in maintaining his overall health because now people have an opportunity which is very close to them.

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate clothing, body tissue and internal organs. X-ray machine sends this radiation through the body to create an image. Because of their effectiveness, use of medical X-rays in the early 1980’s made up about 11 percent of all the radiation exposures to the U.S. population which in subsequent years accounted for 35 percent of all the medical X-Rays radiation exposures in the country. Nuclear medicine procedures, which use radioactive material to create images of the body are also utilized by the emergency medical providers to speed up the diagnosis which helps to reduce overcrowding in the limited emergency facilities and providers. Radiation dose per person from medical X-rays has increased almost 500 percent since the 1980’s. Nearly half of all medical X-ray exposures today come from CT (computed tomography).

Authorized users for a Nuclear Van have the following special responsibilities.
A. Evaluate patients to determine if a radiation procedure is necessary.
B. Prescribe the radiation dose and how to administer it.
C. Specify use of any by-product material as necessary.
D. Perform diagnostic procedure.

A new Mobile Nuclear Imaging Van (NIV) can be a very expensive venture, yet a refurbished NIV can be acquired at almost half the price of the new van to provide the nuclear imaging services. Our imaging van is equipped with Siemens e-cam Gamma Camera and Philips Forte Nuclear Imaging System or equivalent system. The Philips is one of the most widely installed and utilized system in the world. The Siemens e-Cam, also rebranded Siemens Symbia E as well as Toshiba t.com and other systems available in the global market can be used for installation in a Mobile Nuclear Imaging Van. Due to space constraints in the mobile nuclear van environment and transportation issues, the Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is ideal for the mobile systems.

Nuclear scans such as radioisotope and radionuclide scans can help diagnose cancers, injuries, infections and reveal how the heart and lungs are functioning. nuclear medicine imaging procedures are the preferred choice of emergency rooms at hospitals because it can offer potential to identify disease in its earliest stages. Nuclear scans also overcome issues and speed up the radiation emergency process which allows the medical institutions to treat more patients.

You can add a Mobile Nuclear Imaging Van to supplement your services to patients who are not within your geographical region and increase your circle of influence bringing patients to your facility for further work-up increasing revenues. You can also add more than one such mobile van as they are less expensive than the fixed clinic. The synergy of the fixed clinic in conjunction with one or more mobile clinics will supplement income and profitability several folds.

Investing in refurbished mobile van with used or refurbished Nuclear Imaging System & used Gamma Camera can keep your fixed cost down and increase profitability.

Some very large hospitals have multiple mobile nuclear imaging coaches that serve other smaller remote hospitals.

In some cases, we can convert your existing mobile medical van to the Nuclear Imaging van to save on your fixed cost.

Profitability is an essential part of financial analysis. It requires analysis of capital investment, the performance of the company and the efforts employed to achieve resulting profitability. Relative measure of profit analysis is essential.

  • Relative measure of profit analysis is essential: For instance, an investor investing in your mobile nuclear imaging venture would need a sound measure of how good an investment is compared to another one. The concept of internal rate of return (IRR) is such a measure.
  • One of the factors of profitability is cost because it impacts profit directly. Good understanding of cost can allow you to control cost to increase profitability.
  • Profitability from one mobile nuclear imaging van may be an objective measure and can be applied to the second and third van producing a combined affect greater than the sum of their separate affects. This is called relative profitability (Synergy).
  • Major factors of profitability analysis are listed below.
    -The internal rate of return (IRR) compares profitability of different mobile nuclear imaging vans and your fixed conventional clinic in your business.
    -Analysis of fixed and variable costs
    -Break even analysis
    -Opportunity costs involve relative project (number of mobile vans you want or own) comparison with competitors.
    -Various measure of profitability Cash flow patterns and uncertainty.

The major cost factors for Mobile Nuclear Imaging Vans are the fixed cost of the mobile van, the medical equipment, medical equipment service, preventative maintenance for the coach, as well as the cost of the technologist who normally will drive the truck thus minimizing labor costs.

To keep the cost down, consider refurbished mobile vans available at almost half the cost of new units.

Phillips Forte Dual head Nuclear Gamma Camera is designed for (SPECT) single proton emission computed technology, and planar imaging. It can provide as many as fifteen different image sets using physician specified protocols. The camera’s unique open design accommodates patients on gurneys, in hospital beds, in wheel chairs and even mobile nuclear imaging vans.

Strategies for profitability at the micro level management:

  • Your staff, service, quality, finance and growth are the contributing factors to profitability. Your routine staff meetings agenda should have the specific topics of discussion listed under each of the five factors.
  • You need to differentiate your operations from your competition. Quality is a key driver with your insurance companies and also makes your operation efficient.
  • Timeliness is crucial for profitability and your patients who wants to have the service done in a timely manner.
  • Develop an office staff culture that is courteous, welcoming and punctual. First impressions of the patients are the last and that impression is based on cleanliness of the facility and competence of the staff. Rudeness will lose the patient and the profitability.
  • Keep patient comment cards visible, also mail it with invoice. Email patients to fill out online survey. Review each survey and comments in the staff meetings for resolution. Your profitability depends on it.
  • Make safety a priority for employees and patients. Have frequent staff meetings and discussions. Listen to patients.
  • Encourage an entrepreneurial skill for your staff and make them feel more than just a job. Keep your staff meetings open for employee inputs and review grievances or suggestions. Your patients do not want to see new employees every 6 to 12 months. Training staff and retention add to profitability.

Recently we elected to rent a private house instead of a conventional hotel room while on our vacation. The house was beautiful, if we wanted to buy it, but they did not have the acceptable hotel type services they claimed to offer, such as breakfast, cleaning service, the usual towels. The owner did not plan and manage the services to convert this beautiful house to a hotel for rental. Obviously, we will never consider this house for rental nor we will recommend it.

The same applies to your fixed nuclear clinic or mobile nuclear van. The building structure and mobile van in conjunction with the services will make your business more profitable.
You can supplement your income by adding a mobile nuclear van to your existing fixed nuclear clinic to become more profitable by benefitting from the synergy of both the fixed and mobile nuclear imaging services.
