	How has your practice addressed policies for on-site versus remote radiologist work?

	With the growing prevalence of work from home (WFH) seats for radiologists, policies need to evolve to reward radiologists who are on site and maintain “face time” at the hospitals radiologists staff. Please assume the below questions apply to practices who do not have out of state radiologists, or radiologists who are working remotely and too far away to drive in if urgent staffing need. How has your practice addressed this issue?

*1.

Where is your practice regionally located?
(See the reference map for Hot Topic Polls here)

*2.

What type of community is your practice located in? (Check all that apply)

	Rural (Small communities)
	Suburban (Outside city limits)
	Urban (Cities)
	Teleradiology (Does not apply)

*3.

Work shift (same seat duties) that can either be on site or off site:

	No variance. Radiologists are paid the same whether on site or remote for the same seat/shift duties
	Thinking about a variance
	Implemented a variance

If you have any additional comments, please explain the implemented or considered variance

*4.

We know some sub specialties must work on site (interventional/breast proceduralist). Other subspecialties can be completely remote.

If you implemented a policy to address, did you:

	Increase compensation or time off for the radiologists who must be on site
	Tax the remote radiologists in some capacity (time, dollars, additional productivity requirements, or other).
	A combination of increasing on site radiologists' compensation and requiring off site radiologists to produce higher output.
	Policy is currently in discussion
	Haven’t had any thoughts about this issue yet

*5.

For remote radiologists, who funds the cost of the work from home (WFH) equipment?

	Radiologist who WFH
	Practice

	If other, please specify

6.	If a shift can be remote or onsite based on radiologist preference or other factors like meeting obligations, what is the communication protocol to ensure that other radiologists and technologists are aware of the radiologist's staffing location?
