We are pleased to read that Dr Baker and his colleagues at The Joint Commission (TJC) have taken interest in our article [1]. Furthermore, we agree with Baker ’s statement that the requirements for Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) established by TJC do not dictate what data are collected, what metrics are established, and what thresholds are chosen for those metrics [2]. In addition to our statement that “accredited healthcare organizat ions are required to define their OPPE parameters, methods of data collection, and process for administering OPPE” [1], we discussed the potential downsides of this app...

The Neiman Imaging Comorbidity Index: Development and Validation in a National Commercial Claims Database
To build the Neiman Imaging Comorbidity Index (NICI), based on variables available in claims datasets, which provides good discrimination of an individual ’s chance of receiving advanced imaging (CT, MR, PET), and thus, utility as a control variable in research.

Developing, Purchasing, Implementing and Monitoring AI Tools in Radiology: Practical Considerations. A Multi-Society Statement From the ACR, CAR, ESR, RANZCR & RSNA
Artificial intelligence (AI) carries the potential for unprecedented disruption in radiology, with possible positive and negative consequences. The integration of AI in radiology holds the potential to revolutionize healthcare practices by advancing diagnosis, quantification, and management of multiple medical conditions. Nevertheless, the ever-growing availability of AI tools in radiology highlights an increasing need to critically evaluate claims for its utility and to differentiate safe product offerings from potentially harmful, or fundamentally unhelpful ones.

Radiologists ’ Out-of-Network Billing Trends, 2007 to 2021
Given the financial hardships of surprise billing for patients, the aim of this study was to assess the degree to which radiologists effectively participate in commercial insurance networks by examining the trend in the share of radiologists ’ imaging claims that are out of network (OON).

The Application of Large Language Models for Radiologic Decision Making
Large language models (LLMs) have seen explosive growth, but their potential role in medical applications remains underexplored. Our study investigates the capability of LLMs to predict the most appropriate imaging study for specific clinical presentations in various subspecialty areas in radiology.

Improving Efficiencies While Also Delivering Better Health Care Outcomes: A Role for Large Language Models
Generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically the large language models (LLMs) that underlie impressive new applications such as ChatGPT, are already fundamentally changing medicine. Unlike more traditional AI systems that produce simple outputs such as a number (say, the predicted length of stay for a patient in the hospital) or a category (say, “malignant” or “benign” for a radiologic system), “generative AI” refers broadly to systems whose outputs take the form of more unstructured media objects, such as images and documents.
