More About Us
Motivated by significant changes in
the healthcare marketplace, a group of radiologists met in the summer of 1993 to create a
new way of delivering diagnostic imaging services. They recognized the need for statewide
access and consistently high quality services. They saw the opportunity for cost savings
through streamlined management and volume discounts from suppliers. And, they realized the
value they could deliver to customers.
From these discussions, Washington
Managed Imaging emerged. In December 1993, WMI incorporated
and a new concept in managed imaging care was created in our state.
Our network brings together groups of highly skilled
radiologists to serve every diagnostic imaging need. WMI is fully established, staffed and
ready to serve the needs of payors, employers and patients statewide.
WMI - Value through shared technology
management.
