Scale Can Improve the Clinical Value of Radiology Practices

Radiology is participating in the recent consolidation trend. Larger practices can invest in the infrastructure and teams to help improve the clinical value of the services they deliver. An example of national practice is provided that leverages its scale to promote clinical best practices aimed at reducing variability in the recommendations radiologists make for common imaging findings. This is accomplished by promoting the culture of learning and collaboration. In some initiatives, developing a machine learning tool to facilitate the application of clinical algorithms at the point of dictation facilitates the adoption of the recommendations.
