It’s one of the most important ingredients in driving the success of any quality-focused initiative. I’m incredibly excited to help our provider community reach their goals,” Barimani said. “There is no doubt that high-quality radiology is a foundation for improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs, and I look forward to contributing to this essential work.”
