“Standing Out in a Crowded Healthcare Market: The Power of On-Site Cardiac CT Imaging for Better Patient Care” – Featured in Becker’s Hospital Review by Allen Boxbaum

In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, providing both high-quality and accessible care is essential. In a recent article for Becker’s Hospital Review, Allen Boxbaum, Senior Vice President of Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute, highlights the transformative impact of on-site cardiac CT imaging. By integrating dedicated cardiac CT scanners within healthcare facilities, hospitals can significantly reduce wait times, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enhance overall patient experience. This is particularly crucial for diagnosing and managing complex heart conditions, where timely and precise imaging can lead to better treatment outcomes.

As Boxbaum explains, investing in on-site imaging technology is not only a clinical advantage but also a strategic move in competitive healthcare markets. Health systems with advanced cardiac imaging capabilities can differentiate themselves by offering faster, more reliable, and comprehensive cardiac care. Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute’s adoption of dedicated cardiac CT scanning has already demonstrated its value in optimizing patient flow, reducing unnecessary scans, and attracting patients seeking efficient, high-quality cardiac care—all key factors in standing out in an increasingly crowded healthcare market.
