RFP-24-PHX-06 Radiology Physician Services:
1. On an average how many X-rays, CTs, Ultrasound, Mammography readings are typically read by a radiologist?
Please list the numbers separately?
On average during a normal working day, the Radiologist is expected to read the following numbers. 80 to 100 exams per day – mixture of exam types.
Xray - 60
CT - 10
US - 10
MRI - 5
Mammo – usually separate from the other modalities. Can be 40 to 60 per day (mammo only).
2. Is there any weekend (day or night) or weekday night call responsibility?
A. SHIFT SCHEDULE:
a. Dayshift: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (8 hours shift) with 30-minutes unpaid lunch.
b. Currently, radiology services are scheduled for Monday through Friday
Specific days may change based upon the needs of PIMC.
If any changes are made, the COR will talk with the contractor for a mutual agreement to change the schedule.
No on call at night or weekend. It will be planned ahead of time and mutually scheduled.
3. Are radiologists required to do any Interventional procedures such as Thoracentesis or Paracentesis or lumbar puncture etc?
Only lumbar punctures may be requested and it will be at the Radiologist decision, no one will be required. We do not due thoracentesis or Paracentesis. The surgery dept will perform these procedures.
4. Is there an option to perform Teleradiology?
Separate contract for Teleradiology. Not under this contract. This is an onsite
Radiologist Services. They will need to be present for consultation with PIMC physician and Fluoroscopy services.
5. The Statement of Work indicates that is it is part-time on an “as needed” basis. This is a true. The needs are part-time to full-time.
As per the Statement of Work: The recurring needs of the service unit are for a part-time
Radiology Physician on an “as needed” basis for the duration of the contract. The specific need of this specialty is difficult to predict and therefore it is likely that PIMC may not use the estimated hours each year, however having them available when the need arises will minimize service disruptions. Also, even when the best plans are made to hire and retain staff, our national need of medical services makes this difficult and we can have staff shortages despite trying to hire a full-time employee.
The intent of this contract is to establish a method whereby the PIMC can minimize disruptions in medical service because of staff changes and shortages over the next five (5) years. Requests for contractor coverage will be based on the consistently changing needs of the clinic.
