Strategic Radiology has hired John Outlaw, CHC, as the company’s vice president of compliance.

In this role, Outlaw “will develop compliance tools, help member practices implement new compliance programs, and provide strategic direction and oversight to improve the effectiveness of existing programs.”

Outlaw most recently served as a compliance officer for McKesson Business Performance Solutions’ Hospital Affiliated Physicians division. He also worked as a vice president of regulatory affairs and CCO for the third-party billing company Pathology Service Associates.

“I am excited to be back working directly with physician practices on the front lines of patient care,” Outlaw said in a prepared statement. “Ethics provide the underpinnings of all effective compliance programs, so Strategic Radiology will be building on a strong foundation.”

“The health care regulatory environment is increasingly complex, and John Outlaw brings a great depth and breadth of health care compliance expertise to Strategic Radiology,” Arl Van Moore Jr., MD, chair and chief executive officer of Strategic Radiology, said in the same statement. “We are pleased to offer this level of talent to our members.”
