The second largest ‘pure play’ Teleradiology provider in Australia, Professional Radiology Outcomes Pty Ltd (PRO) announces the appointment of former CEO of Healius Imaging, Dean Lewsam.

Founded in 2009, PRO has largely flown under the radar and steadily accrued Imaging Center and Private Hospital clients seeking independent radiology reporting to build their businesses.

PRO’s cloud-based RIS/PACS is unique in the market, enabling clients to be on-boarded more easily and quickly than any other provider in the industry.

“It’s true that our IT set-up is impressive, what is even more impressive, and the real secret to our success is our team. Our clients love that we have a deep focus of looking after their patients and referrers, which translates to our clients being able to focus even more on growing their imaging volumes,” said Sean Cowan, PRO Co-Founder and Chairman.

Cowan acknowledged the uniqueness and strength of PRO’s operating model and how integrating costly administrative tasks allows their clients to concentrate on referral marketing.

In-coming CEO, Dean Lewsam, has a wealth of experience in managing and growing Radiology businesses, most recently with Healius Ltd, where he spent seven years as CEO of the Imaging Division.

“Teleradiology is absolutely the future of our industry. The incumbent corporate players recognize that and have various levels of competency in being able to adjust their IT architecture in order to execute on the opportunity,” said Dean Lewsam, PRO CEO.

Essential to the success of any Teleradiology Reporting service is the quality of Radiologists a business is able to attract and retain. PRO’s team of Reporting Radiologists have been consistent and growing, providing services through a mix of full-time, part-time and casual reporting enabling PRO best to meet the demands of its extensive client base.

“The flexibility that a private, tightly held company can provide is invigorating” enthused Lewsam.

“Dean’s reputation amongst the Radiologist sector in particular, is what attracted us to him; he is well-known, well-liked and well-respected and we’ll work together to build a framework that allows our high quality and loyal Radiologist partners to share in our growth,” added Cowan.
