And with EHR, I suddenly had to do everything myself. I used to tell nurses to call in or fax a prescription to the pharmacy for me. I was told I had to enter the rx myself with all the associated drop down menus and clicks.
I used to tell my front desk to order labs, CT's, MRI's... for me. Now I have to order them myself and "remember" if the patient is on metformin or has a cardiac device.
But the worst thing for #radonc was the requirement to enter an "intent to treat order." Regurgitating what is already in my consult note and radiation prescription. It's required for billing and does absolutely nothing for patient care

Credentialing delays mean canceled visits and slower care.
Dr. Join Luh (@j_luh) explains how AB 2457 can reduce backlogs and improve patient access.
PAC proudly supports AB 2457.

Thank you to #ROCR Act champion @RepJohnJoyce for today's question to @SecKennedy about radiation oncology’s payment crisis. We appreciate that Sec Kennedy committed to work with Dr. Joyce & the radonc community to protect access to cancer care, especially in rural areas.

"Formal didactics on aerospace medicine at a level of depth and breadth that cannot be obtained elsewhere." Dr. Ganeev Singh on UTMB's Principles of Aviation and Space Medicine course.

ALT Principles of Aviation and Space Medicine participants gather around extravehicular activity space suits and crew aids during a training session at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. A presentation on EVA tools and crew aids is displayed on screen behind the group.

Radiation lymphoma studies that are published in rad onc journals are better cited, despite lower impact factor. Lymphoma studies reporting on radiation negative clinical outcomes are more likely to be published in non-rad onc and higher impact factor journals, and by non-rad onc authors: tinyurl.com/rjsaifi

Ensuring that patients get the care they need is an important aspect of every radiologists' job. This starts with clear communication that reassures the patient that your recommendations are the right next steps for them. Join @AlyssaCubbison as she explores how expertise plays a huge role in this step in patient care in our first #ACRYPS column, YPS: Early to Rise. #ACRBulletin 🔗 bit.ly/42BIoAK @RadiologyACR @OrmsbyMD @koolkpMD @DSmethermanMD

In conjunction with the Patel et al retrospective study on the cost of telehealth in #radonc, ACRO member Dr. @j_luh has authored the editorial "Telehealth in #RadiationOncology: Time to Refine, Not Just Expand" now published on #CURiE. Read it here: cureus.com/articles/407131-t…
When is telehealth for radiation oncology on treatment visits appropriate? It likely depends on the site of service/disease type.
At my freestanding center, I often am also the patients PCP. Without me there is no in-person physician support, patients go straight to hospital.
#CURiEAlert: "Excess Cost of Telehealth Use in #RadOnc: A Medicare-Based Cohort Study" is published! This study analyzes Medicare beneficiaries who received external beam radiation therapy in outpatient hospital-based settings between 2020-2022: cureus.com/articles/389689-e…

Mark your calendars for Sept. 7th, 2025, as the radiology community will come together to celebrate the first ever World Radiotherapy Day. This day hopes to raise awareness around the world to reduce disparities preventing patients from getting access to radiotherapy.
See the @ACRBulletin about @RadiologyACR's involvement as well as why everyone in the House of Radiology should participate!
