Practical Approaches to Billing, Reporting, and Staffing Issues in the Vascular Laboratory

Abstract

The following recommendations are intended to offer a practical approach to the understanding of non-technical issues arising in a vascular laboratory. While as sonographers we would all probably prefer to focus on the technical aspect of the profession, we are also living in a society shaped with policies, rules and regulations. It is therefore imperative that we also understand the non-technical aspects of the profession, to maneuver safely in clinical setting and offer safety and quality to our patients.
