What is his business model? Somehow, as the President of Advanced Imaging Services (AIS) I felt a connection between his work and mine….and no, it doesn’t have a connection with turds. Well anyway I was able to better connect with this little mobile healthcare worker and this species and I have a unique and personal relationship now.

Portable Diagnostic Imaging — X-rays, EKGs brought right to the bedside — is already a reality. It’s fast, safe, efficient, and far more compassionate. For patients in long-term care, skilled nursing, assisted living, or even at home, bedside diagnostics can mean the difference between timely care and delayed treatment… or even hospitalization.

This isn’t about convenience anymore. It’s about smart medicine, real compassion with cost savings thrown in.

Gone are the days of hauling 600-pound ultrasound machines. Today’s portable technology fits in the palm of your hand- but Medicare hasn’t caught up. The P.U.R.E. Act aims to change that, bringing real-time diagnostic imaging to patients who need it most- right at their bedside

When I first began this portable diagnostics… I was amazed at how a simple AP chest x-ray could improve the way patients are cared for at home, hospice, and especially those in nursing homes!
