Jonathan Kruskal, our Chief of Radiology, points out out a useful website of the Radiology Society of North America, on which he has been working with the RSNA's Quality Committee. He notes:
This is a very useful site which includes resources for radiologists who want to get started with QI projects (very helpful for all of our residents now undertaking the QA elective); tools to help identify areas for improvement and tools for designing interventions, educational QA offerings (including the vertical daylong QI course at RSNA that Scott Gazelle from MGH and I am organizing this year); clinical guidelines and performance measures; and QA self assessment modules (SAM's).
I, too, note with some pride that the site links to four recent quality-related papers from Jonny's department (including those from Alex Bankier, Jacob Sosna and Bettina Siewert).
I think this is a great resource for QI projects.
