Hi, everyone.

This is Lucas Voss with Becker's Healthcare.

Thanks so much for tuning in to the Becker's Healthcare podcast series.

It's great to have you.

Today, we're talking about scaling outpatient care, lessons in access, workforce, and advocacy.

And joining me for today's discussion are three fantastic guests.

First, Paul Galloway, Chief Operating Officer at Wake Radiology.

And we're also joined by Dr. Brent Townsend, President and Managing Partner also at Wake Radiology.

And

and a pediatric radiologist.

And rounding out the conversation is Jason Weschler.

He's the Vice President of Outpatient Solutions at Siemens Healthineers.

Thank you all for being here today.

It's so great to have you.

We have a ton to discuss, so I want to hop right in to the conversation.

As we're seeing demand continuing to shift into outpatient settings, I'd love to know where you're seeing the most persistent access bottlenecks today.

And again, we're talking about geography, scheduling capacity, staffing, referral process, all of these different factors, very complex.

And which of those is proving hardest to solve at scale?

Dr. Townsend, I'd love to start off with you.

Paul, from your perspective as Chief Operating Officer, what does this look like?
