Deciding where to spend this money is a dicey task. RAS forms a draft budget every August, with each division providing a “wish list” of new technology and services. The joint Finance and Executive committees fine-tune the list, and it goes before the entire board in December.
RAS also must compete with imaging centers that are embedded inside major hospitals like Kaiser, UC Davis and Mercy, and which are isolated, to some degree, from the economic challenges of the free market.
“You stop in this business, and you are in big trouble,” Gaschen says. “You always have to get better, whether it’s adding great specialists to the team or making a tough decision to buy one multimillion dollar piece of potentially lifesaving machinery over another.”
