What we stand for

Big enough to make a difference, small enough to care

At the I-MED Network our organisational philosophy is simple – to devolve authority, responsibility and accountability to our practice groups for the day-to-day management of local clinics and clinical decision making, while providing network support through dedicated and expert central services functions.

This ensures that all our practice groups are able to capture the scale and benefits of our network, while maintaining responsibility and accountability for the day-to-day decisions that affect them, and their local referrer and patient community.

Our guiding principles, our competitive advantage

Underpinning our organisational philosophy is a commitment to our guiding principles, which we believe are critical to the ongoing success of the I-MED Network.

• A collegiate culture – we strive to be a collegiate group in which we respect each other as partners.
• We recognise the importance of clinical independence – we believe the best medical outcomes are derived from local understanding driven by clinicians. Our local radiologists control the day-to-day affairs and clinical decision making to ensure that local service delivery is tailored to the needs of each community.
• A commitment to the practice of quality medicine – we aim to be the best. We strive to provide the best facilities and equipment, recruit and retain the very best staff in diagnostic imaging, and constantly review and measure our own performance to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Local management – We believe in the decentralisation of day-to-day management to ensure that our radiologists and staff are involved in tailoring the decisions that affect their practices, their local referrers and their patient community.
• Leveraging the network – Our size and scale gives us unique advantages. We are able to provide the best patient care by negotiating the most cost effective deals for new technologies and leveraging the intellectual capital of the group by actively promoting the sharing of ideas and expertise.
• Recognising all our stakeholders – We strive to achieve superior outcomes and benefits for all our stakeholders including patients, referring doctors, the community and our staff.
