DALLAS-FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) November 10, 2021

Strategic Radiology has selected seasoned leader and radiology professional Barbara Perez Deppman, RDMS, MSM, FACHE, to serve as chief operating officer (COO). Ms. Deppman replaces Randal Roat, FRBMA, who retires on Dec. 15 after serving as SR COO since 2012.

“Barbara is an outstanding addition to our leadership team,” said Scott Bundy, MD, FACR, CEO and Chair, Strategic Radiology. “Not only does she have a deep understanding of radiology with experience in both the hospital and practice leadership settings, but she also has an insider’s understanding of our culture that enabled her to hit the ground running.”

On the radiology practice side, she served as Executive Director for Radiology Associates of South Florida, from 2015 to 2018. Previously, Ms. Deppman was Administrative Director of Radiology, Interventional Imaging Services, Radiation Oncology, and Women’s Imaging at University of Miami/Jackson Health System; and presided over Baptist Health System’s ambulatory imaging expansion from 1 to 20 sites. Ms. Deppman began her career in radiology as a radiologic technologist and later added sonography.

“I am excited to join Strategic Radiology at this pivotal time,” said Ms. Deppman. “The coalition is growing the spectrum of products and services we offer our members, from advocacy to after-hours reads. I am excited to begin work on operationalizing these programs and continuing to strengthen the independent private practice.”

In 2021, Strategic Radiology introduced a partnership with Intelerad that provides members with an SR enterprise license for PACS and Clario SmartWorklist, bringing these key enabling technologies into reach for all members. The coalition also announced that it has engaged Thorn Run Partners, a Washington, DC-based lobbying firm, to represent the needs and perspective of private practice on Capitol Hill.

Seven new members, all independent privately-owned radiology practices, have joined Strategic Radiology since the start of the pandemic in January 2020. They range in size from 9 radiologists to 65 radiologists.
