Iodinated Contrast Shortage & Conservation Plan

There is a global shortage of iodinated contrast (intravenous and oral) due to COVID-19 in China. Health care systems across the globe, including ECU Health, are impacted by this shortage which is expected to continue through July 2022. 

To learn more about the shortage and what ECU Health is doing to address it, click here. If you have anyquestions, please contact Marilyn Buchholz via phone (252-847-4192) or email (Marilyn.Buchholz@Vidanthealth.com). 

Radiology Process Enhancements

Starting in mid-August, we will no longer be scheduling radiology tests or procedures without first receiving an order from a provider. For providers without access to Epic, there will be two options available for the submission of these orders—CareLink (preferred) and fax.

Over the next several months, you will be provided with more detailed information about these process changes. If you have any questions or concerns, please send them to physicianoutreach@vidanthealth.com.
