چکیده
Following review of this information, if your group feels there are areas needing improvement, then you should develop, document and implement a plan for improvement. Once that plan has been implemented, a repeat cycle of submitting data from extravasation events to the ACR-NRDR must be done. You will again receive feedback documents for your group to assess whether the improvement plan had any beneficial impact. This process of performance data submission, feedback with comparison to benchmarks/established guidelines, implementation of improvement plans, and re-measuring performance is the backbone of all PQI projects.

There is confusion as to the role of the radiologist, technologist, and even referring physician in im...
