SARASOTA, Fla., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the
direction of Peter Solodko, CEO of
A1 Imaging Centers, LLC d/b/a A1 Medical Imaging (a Consolidated
Healthcare company), the corporate headquarters located in
Sarasota, Florida, is working
better and more efficiently since the pandemic began over 10 months
ago.
A1 Medical Imaging has magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clinics
throughout the state of Florida
and part of Georgia. The corporate
office oversees the clinics and provides centralized services
including administration, human resources, transcription, finance,
insurance contracting, information systems and technology, billing
and collection, and medical technology.
"In late March last year, I decided to have most of our
corporate employees work from home because of the COVID-19
pandemic," Peter Solodko states. "I
made that decision because the health and safety of our employees
are of major importance to me. My original plan was to have
everyone return to the main office after one month. It quickly
became obvious that staff would need to remain and work from home
until the pandemic subsided. We didn't know how this would affect
our operations, but once we restructured our IT and communications
functionality to support remote working, we began to realize there
were benefits derived from this approach."
The company has experienced an increase in productivity and
efficiency, and a reduction in expenses. Employees are staying more
focused on their work. There is less commotion and fewer business
interruptions. A positive effect can be seen in the collection of
payments, which has improved slightly. There is less need for
office space, resulting in cost savings. Office supply costs have
decreased somewhat, too, even though the company supplies each
at-home employee with whatever is needed.
The few staff members who remain at the corporate office follow
the CDC guidelines of wearing masks, hand sanitizing and social
distancing. All vendors and deliveries remain outside.
"There are some additional benefits in this at-home working
model," Solodko added. "Employees are saving time and money since
they're not commuting to work. They are able to spend more quality
time with those around them. I also believe they may be feeling
less stressed about their work. It's quite possible that we will
continue working this way even after the pandemic is behind
us."
