Zotec Partners Hosts Former President George W. Bush at RSNA Social Event

Zotec Partners (Zotec), an industry-leading provider of radiology billing and practice management services, hosted a unique and unforgettable social event for its clients and prospective clients at last week’s Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) 100th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting. Each year at the RSNA Annual Meeting, many organizations host social events for associates, vendors, physicians and clients. To commemorate the RSNA’s 100th anniversary, Zotec was thrilled to host an evening with former President George W. Bush for its clients and prospective clients.

The event, held in the Grand Ballroom of the Trump Hotel in Chicago, featured an informal and heartfelt interview conducted by Zotec’s Founder and CEO, T. Scott Law and centered on topics of leadership and perseverance. During the interview, Law asked former President Bush questions about the former President’s time in office, his views on governance and decision making, the Oval Office, 9/11 and Ground Zero. Zotec’s clients in attendance were also allowed to meet former President Bush and were given a photo opportunity with him.

Zotec client, Lawrence P. Harter, MD, FACR, president of Pueblo Radiology Medical Group said of the event, “I found President Bush warm and engaging.  Although there are differences in political points of view, he was fair and passionate about his opinions and the glimpse into the inner workings of the West Wing was fascinating.”

Industry colleague Lawrence R. Muroff, MD, FACR, CEO and president of Imaging Consultants Inc. added, “The Zotec-sponsored ‘Evening with President George W. Bush’ was a major highlight of the RSNA's 100th anniversary. It was a rare privilege to have the opportunity to meet a former president and understand the rationale behind some of the most important decisions made in recent history. The evening of collegiality, knowledge-sharing, and socializing with friends will never be forgotten.”


According to T. Scott Law, “This year’s RSNA annual meeting was an exhilarating and energetic centennial celebration for the radiology specialty, focusing on where radiology has been and where it’s going. As a respected and historic visionary, former President Bush gave Zotec the opportunity to further exemplify and explore themes of leadership and determination of spirit that we hope our industry colleagues and clients will memorably reflect on for years to come as it relates to their practices.”
Zotec also provided Comprehensive Zotec Analytics & Reporting (CZAR) demonstrations at the RSNA technical exhibits.  CZAR is a sophisticated analytical tool that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year to actively monitor the entire revenue cycle of a radiology practice.
