Reimagining Interventional Radiology: A Path to Lower Costs and Better Cancer Care

In this podcast, Dr. Joshua Dowell, a private practice pioneer in radiology care, explores the future state of interventional radiology and why moving these services away from hospital‑based setting represents a critical opportunity for the healthcare system. He discusses how alternative care models can meaningfully reduce costs, lower patient risk, and improve quality—particularly in cancer care. The conversation highlights how rethinking site‑of‑care decisions in interventional radiology can unlock a more sustainable cost structure while delivering better outcomes for patients.

After listening to this podcast, participants will be able to:

• Explain the potential impact of shifting interventional radiology away from hospital‑based services, including implications for cost, access, and care delivery.
• Understand how alternative interventional radiology models can improve patient care and reduce risk, particularly through more appropriate care settings.
• Identify the drivers of improved cost structure when interventional radiology services move outside of traditional hospital environments.
• Recognize the path forward for improving cancer care through innovative interventional radiology delivery models.
