About Integral Nuclear Associates

The Integral Commitment

The Integral family of imaging companies focuses on innovative technologies that can have a major impact on patient management and care in communities throughout the northeastern United States. These include nuclear cardiology, positron emission tomography and general nuclear medicine imaging.

Integral bases every phase of its operations and all its relationships on a commitment to a quality experience for both patients and the physicians with whom we work. At Integral-affiliated or operated sites you will find superior facilities, personnel, operations, education and marketing.

Integral Nuclear
Integral Nuclear includes 14 fully operational cardiac sites in four states-New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. These performed more than 13,000 cardiac studies last year. At each Integral Nuclear site there is a special emphasis on patient care and physician service.

Superior Facilities
Integral Nuclear facilities are focused on both the needs of the patient and the physician. They include state-of-the-art nuclear cameras and ancillary equipment, the latest software such as the Emory Cardiac Toolbox, and vendor contracted maintenance and service programs. Integral facilities are at convenient locations, with separate entrances, and comfortable reception and patient prep areas.

Outstanding Personnel
Integral Nuclear staff are extensively trained and certified within their fields. Our staffing includes a Medical Director, Radiation Safety Officer, Health Physicist, Certified Nuclear Technologists, ACLS Registered Nurses and Quality Assurance/Quality Control personnel.

Quality Operations
Integral Nuclear believes that quality operations yield superior results.

Your patients are our patients. That commitment is reflected in every part of the patient experience, including the scheduling and confirmation of appointments, and in how our staff prepare and monitor your patients during their tests.

Quality Control
Our deepest commitment, however, is to ensuring that every study is performed to the highest quality standards. We engage a full-time, certified professional QA officer. He monitors our cameras to ensure that they comply with their published specifications and that their image quality is excellent. He develops site-specific protocols and is available to respond immediately to any problems that may arise. Our corporate Medical Director is available for consultation and review of quality assurance questions.

Billing & Reimbursement
For many sites we assume all responsibility for third party billing, contracting and collections. As a result, our medical practitioners are free to concentrate on patient care.

Integral Nuclear & Education
Integral Nuclear believes in providing physicians access to a full spectrum of resources to enhance their practices. This includes case studies, clinical pathway and best practice information. Our medical director is available for second opinions and, should it be requested, for regular overreads.

Beginning in early 2002, Integral Nuclear will launch a unique online educational program for physicians and professional staff. Together with Montefiore Medical Center we are developing a series of nuclear medicine courses covering cardiac imaging, general nuclear medicine and PET.

Marketing Support to Build The Practice
Integral has an established marketing program that is customized for each of our facilities. An experienced marketing specialist works with each site to maintain current referrals and helps to build your overall practice. The marketing representative's efforts are supported by patient-oriented materials and, as appropriate, print and broadcast advertising and promotion.
