Research
Dr. McGinty has broad knowledge of healthcare reimbursement and is recognized as a transparent influencer and collaborative team-based decision maker who effectively negotiates difficult strategic and contractual issues at the intersection of technology and healthcare. Specific to breast imaging, she is interested in the connection between compliance with breast screening guidelines and the trend of higher out of pocket cost sharing for patients as well as the potential for a bundled payment for screening to improve quality and compliance. She is also a strong advocate for more diverse healthcare leadership and has written and spoken extensively on this topic.
