Navigate Transition to Value-Based Care, Payment Models With ACR 2016 Quality and Safety Sessions

Washington, DC  — ACR 2016® quality and safety sessions help radiology professionals enhance and strengthen their practices, providing specific strategies and tools to improve patient care and transition from volume- to value-based payment models. “ACR 2016 quality and safety sessions focus on topics that patients care about, such as radiation dose optimization and methods to increase patient satisfaction,” said Cheri Canon, MD, FACR, chair of the ACR 2016 Program Committee. “Radiology professionals must adapt to new alternative payment models, and ACR 2016 sessions help attendees navigate that transition,” she added. “Specifically, the Radiology Support, Communication and Alignment Network (R-SCAN) session details the opportunity for radiologists to participate in the continuum of care with referring clinicians and to measure and demonstrate value,” noted Canon. ACR 2016 offers 23 quality and safety sessions, including a comprehensive five-part program that can be used to train specific individuals to serve their institutions as the radiology quality officer.
