ABSTRACT
The current radiology landscape has an imbalance between the rising demand for radiology services and the national radiologist workforce available. More vacant radiology positions exist than graduating radiology trainees. The origins of this problem are complex and require long-term solutions. Rather than working longer and/or faster, radiologists can work smarter. In this article, we present multiple short-term strategies to increase the effective radiologist workforce and/or increase workforce efficiency, to alleviate the current workload challenges. These strategies are derived from an analysis of possible practice-level changes in personnel, process, and physical plant. The impacts of the potential changes are estimated. No single change addresses the mismatch between supply and demand for radiology services. By creating an inventory of potential solutions, practices can choose the potential mechanism(s) to address the workforce shortage that best fit their needs and local environment.
