| Abstract: | There is no agreed national strategy on how New Zealand will address the soaring demand and costs of radiology services in the public health sector. Current local approaches include extending scanning sessions, additional paid reporting by radiologists (outside contracted hours), outsourcing imaging and reporting to the private sector, employing ad hoc locums, and trying to attract internationally qualified health professionals. However, if New Zealand is to have a sustainable radiology service, serious discussion around radiology skill mix will need to occur. This article discusses radiology skill mix challenges in New Zealand compared with the United States and in the United Kingdom. |
