Area of Science:

  • Radiologic Science Education
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Managed care principles have increasingly influenced healthcare delivery and administration.
  • The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) commissioned a survey to understand these effects on education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gauge the perceived impact of managed care on radiologic science education.
  • To explore specific effects on clinical education, student applications, and program finances.

Main Methods:

  • An opinion survey was distributed to radiologic science program directors.
  • Data were analyzed comparing responses by institution type and radiologic discipline.

Main Results:

  • Program directors perceive managed care as an influencing factor in radiologic science education.
  • The precise impact of managed care could not be isolated as the sole cause of changes.
  • Discrepancies exist between current program outcomes and the educational needs of new graduates desired by managers.

Conclusions:

  • Managed care influences radiologic science education, but its specific role requires further investigation.
  • Educational programs may need to adapt curricula to better meet the evolving demands of the healthcare industry and employer expectations.
