“…Clinical practice must include reviewing patients in the outpatient clinical setting to determine suitability for a procedure, discussing benefits, risk, alternatives and potential contraindications, taking informed consent, rounding on hospital inpatients and being willing to manage procedure related complications are all important parts of a successful interventional radiology practice. 30,31 As outlined by Soares, 32 that while the "shift to the clinical IR model is costly", there is tangible financial value and many intangible benefits including improved patient care, political benefit and the potential for increased job satisfaction, which offset this initial investment.…”

“…Many hurdles exist, including physical space for clinics, appropriately trained support staff, appointment scheduling and departmental support and the ability to appropriate market and promote services and receive direct patient referrals. 31 Patient satisfaction is progressively becoming a driving force in an increasingly consumer driven healthcare system in Australia, Europe and the USA with studies demonstrating improved patient perceptions regarding the quality of their care when attending an IR clinic. 38 There has been progress, with IR/INRs already consulting in outpatient clinics in many hospitals.…”

The rapid progression of medical imaging technology and the ability to leverage knowledge from non-invasive imaging means that Interventional Radiologists (IRs) and Interventional Neuroradiologists are optimally placed to incorporate minimally invasive interventional paradigms into clinical management to advance patient care. There is ample opportunity to radically change the management options for patients with a variety of diseases through the use of minimally invasive interventional procedures. However, this will need to be accompanied by an increased clinical role of IRs to become active partners in the clinical management of patients. Unfortunately, the development of IR clinical presence has lagged behind and is reflected by declining rates of IR involvement in certain areas of practice such as vascular interventions. Current and future IRs must be willing to take on clinical responsibilities; reviewing patients in clinic to determine suitability for a procedure and potential contraindications, rounding on hospital inpatients and be willing to manage procedure related complications, which are all important parts of a successful IR practice. Increasing our clinical presence has several advantages over the procedure-driven model including enhanced patient knowledge and informed consent for IR procedures, improved rapport with patients and other clinical colleagues through active participation and engagement in patient care, visibility as a means to facilitate referrals and consistency of follow-up with opportunities for further learning. Many of the solutions to these problems are already in progress and the use of IR as a "hired gun" or "technician" is a concept that should be relegated to the past, and replaced with recognition of IRs as clinicians and partners in delivering modern high quality multidisciplinary team-based patient care. The following article will review the history of IR, the challenges facing this rapidly evolving profession and discuss recent developments occurring globally that are essential in maintaining expertise, securing future growth and improving patient outcomes in the modern multidisciplinary practice of medicine.

“…29 In the context of an IO practice, NPs and PAs can obtain history and physicals, write orders, round and write progress, and discharge notes. [32][33][34] This frees up the attending physician to focus on developing a treatment plan, and addressing any patient or family concerns.…”

Interventional oncology is rapidly expanding its suite of oncologic therapies, providing unique proven therapeutic benefits. To grow a practice alongside other oncology specialties, knowledge of cancer fundamentals is required. Areas of interest include methods to assess disease stage, treatment toxicity, and response. Additionally, techniques to leverage opportunities and resources available at one's institution toward practice development and efficiency will be reviewed.

“…It is essential that we become more conspicuous participants in patient care, before and after a procedure is performed [9,10]. Using our unique knowledge base, we can become integral in ensuring the appropriate utilization of our services by regularly consulting with teams to achieve The 5 Rights of Imaging ® , including choosing the right study, performing it in the right way, and ensuring that the right action is taken based on the diagnostic findings [11].…”
