The Laser Model
The LASER Model was developed and implemented by the members of the CIC team. It has proven to be a central component of the CIC strategy, and a driving contributor to the success of our projects to date.
- Lean
- Accredited
- Safe
- Efficient
- Return-On-Investment
Lean - CIC staffs its facilities to operate at practical capacity with a lean team of professionals. Our highly specialized employees allow for higher profitability through decreased overhead expense. The CIC culture promotes teamwork rather than individuality and this mantra positions our organizations to succeed. CIC assembles businesses with highly adaptable and dynamic persons that far exceed the demands of the patient care arena.
Accredited - All of CIC’s facilities are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The ACR sets the standards of care regarding quality - a core competency of CIC. Our practices not only meet ACR accreditation, but rather exceed many of the requirements in various areas.
Safe - CIC is building, operating and partnering with facilities in a safety-enriched atmosphere. Safe imaging practices and guidelines are both implemented and managed by the CIC safety assurance team.
Efficient - Through our lean professional staff, CIC highlights efficiencies and removes bottle-necks in the imaging practice. Our efficiencies allow us for maximum throughput and ultimately increased revenues. Our systems allow us the ability to scan same-day appointments and in many cases, accommodate walk in CAT Scan and MRI patients-unheard of in the industry.
Return-On-Investment (ROI) - By applying the LASER Model along with specialized industry knowledge, CIC is able to build and manage profitable out-patient radiology centers, reaching profitablility in far less time than traditional MRI start-ups.
