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.
