Abstract:
The ACR convened a cross-specialty, multidisciplinary technical expert panel to identify and define new measures for quality improvement. These measures can be included in the ACR's National Radiology Data Registry and potentially used in the CMS quality reporting programs. The technical expert panel was tasked with developing measures that reflect the most rigorous clinical evidence and address areas most in need of performance improvement. The measures described in these articles represent a new phase in the ACR's efforts to develop meaningful measures for radiologists that promote population health through diagnostic accuracy, clinical effectiveness, and care coordination.
