Automated peer-review QA software beats paper
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ12-04 | Room S402ABTo maintain their institutional credentials, U.S. imaging facilities must set up a peer-review quality assurance program for radiologists to grade each other's work. Using paper and pencil to manage this process can be a headache, and that's why a Rhode Island radiology practice has implemented an automated software application for managing peer-review overreads.
