Abstract:
Value in medicine is defined as the ratio of quality and service and health care outcomes to the costs and inefficiencies of providing care. Creating patient-centered value in radiology reporting requires radiologists to provide accurate diagnostic interpretations in an accessible format with useful advice on further imaging, as well as report-embedded reference materials desired by the referring provider. The value- and service-centered radiologist provides urgent communications when appropriate and is readily available for report consultations. Indirect costs or inefficiencies embedded in report style can erode value. Value is preserved when radiologists strive for concise, clear, and timely reporting. ©RSNA, 2018.

The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.
