Centralized Analytics, Smarter Decisions, Scalable Growth: Vulcan Imaging Associates Journey with Quinsite

Background 

Vulcan Imaging Associates (VIA), a private practice based in Birmingham, Alabama, began as a local group serving its immediate community. Over the past seven years, under CEO Eric Blackman’s leadership, VIA has transformed into a multi-state on-site and teleradiology provider, now covering five states with a team of 40 radiologists and more than 70 locations. This impressive growth required new ways to manage complexity, streamline operations, and make strategic, data-driven decisions. 

Enter Quinsite 

Like many radiology practices, VIA operated across multiple PACS, dictation, reporting, and billing systems—making it difficult to track productivity, manage scheduling, and generate compliance reports. Gathering information from these disparate sources was a manual and time-intensive process, slowing decision-making and limiting visibility into critical performance metrics. 

Quinsite’s Comprehensive Healthcare Analytics Platform™ delivered centralized, integrated access to VIA’s data. With Quinsite, the practice eliminated hours of manual reporting, gained immediate insights into operations, staffing, and compliance, and empowered leadership to make confident, data-driven decisions. 

“Quinsite eliminated hours of manual reporting and gave us access to the information we need when we need it,” says Eric Blackman, CEO of Vulcan Imaging Associates. 

Real Results:  

With Quinsite, Vulcan Imaging Associates have been able to: 

• Scale with Confidence – Analytics supported the practice’s transformation into a multi-state on-site and teleradiology group, helping leadership track growth trends and optimize resources. 
• Streamline Operations – Centralized data feeds replaced cumbersome manual compilations, saving time and enabling faster, more informed decisions. 
• Support Strategic Staffing – Insights into case distribution and productivity have helped VIA adjust workflows and scheduling, particularly around moonlighting coverage. 
• Lay the Foundation for Quality Metrics – Beyond compliance, Eric sees future opportunity in building actionable quality measures that link operational performance to patient outcomes. 

A CEO’s Perspective

For Blackman, Quinsite’s value goes beyond efficiency. Analytics serve as a tool for sustainability, recruiting, and long-term organizational health. 

“Even though we already had access to some analytics through other systems and Quinsite added to our analytics expenses, the time savings and insights made it worth every penny,” he explains. 

He emphasizes that Quinsite helps turn their raw data into actionable insights, giving leadership clear information to guide decisions. This not only drives efficiency but also helps direct focused conversations around key decisions. With facts in hand rather than opinions, VIA’s leaders can optimize operations, fostering trust and alignment across the organization.    

Looking Ahead

As VIA continues its growth journey, the practice plans to hire a dedicated analytics professional to maximize the value of its data. Ongoing initiatives include expanding use of Quinsite’s reporting tools to strengthen MQSA and FDA compliance for mammography across multiple sites—an important step in ensuring consistent quality and regulatory confidence as the practice scales. 

Quinsite remains a cornerstone in this transformation, helping VIA scale strategically, maintain operational excellence, and prepare for the future of data-driven radiology. 

“Analytics equal scalability,” Blackman concludes. “With Quinsite, we have an excellent partner to continue our growth.”
