Something new: a radiology policies and procedures outline guide

The American Hospital Radiology Administrators Midwest Region Education Committee felt the need for a guide to assist radiology administrators in developing departmental policies and procedures unique to their own institutions. The outline guide was undertaken as the education project for the committee of 1980/81. The completed guide was presented at the April, 1981 Midwest regional meeting. This article is presented to you to introduce the outline guide and also emphasize the importance of the development of a comprehensive policy and procedure manual for improved radiology management.
