New EagleEye Quality Assurance Director is Steward for Continuous Improvement
By Erlinda A. Doherty, EagleEye Marketing Director
After separating from the Army in the Summer of 2011, Dr. Kosut officially assumed the role as EagleEye Radiology’s Director of Quality Assurance. In this important position, Dr. Kosut is responsible for managing EagleEye’s robust peer review process and ensuring that radiologists are providing accurate, high quality interpretations. Fostering and maintaining a collegial atmosphere amongst EagleEye’s team is a key element in Dr. Kosut’s approach to this critical function.
“Our radiologists are eager to share their thoughts and opinions on cases,” stated Dr. Kosut. “The volume of interpretations we provide gives us a large pool of data from which we can analyze discrepancies and collaborate on ways to address these differences.”
Prior to joining EagleEye, Dr. Kosut served 9 years in the U.S. Army and last worked as a Staff Radiologist and the Associate Program Director for the Radiology Residency Program at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, one of the busiest military medical centers in the country. He completed his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC during which time he was elected Chief Resident, received several awards, and collaborated on numerous publications.
Promoting quality patient care at EagleEye is a rigorous process that Dr. Kosut takes seriously. Regulatory agencies such as the American College of Radiology and the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations have taken an active role in assessing physician performance and radiology groups must adhere to these strict standards.
“Even the most experienced radiologist can make an error, and we have established an environment where we can continuously improve our skills,” said Dr. Kosut. “Our stringent process demonstrates our dedication our clients and our efforts to uphold the highest standards of patient care.”
