Abstract:
The public, governmental agencies, and payers expect medical professional organisations to develop practice
guidelines and technical standards. The American College of Radiology proactively addresses these topics as well as
other quality and safety interests including appropriateness criteria and accreditation. The College is also actively
involved in development of a national radiology data base to collect data regarding quality and safety metrics in multiple
areas. In addition, the College has developed RADPEER™, a simple, cost-effective process that allows peer review to
be performed during the routine interpretation of current images. This paper discusses the efforts of the ACR in all of these areas.
