Quality Improvement in Interventional Radiology: An Opportunity to Demonstrate Value and Improve Patient-centered Care

The changing healthcare environment offers an opportunity for interventional radiology (IR) to showcase its value-specifically, to demonstrate that IR often offers the better, safer, faster, and less expensive treatment option for various clinical scenarios. The best way to demonstrate the value of IR now and to maintain this value in the future is through implementation of patient-centered care built on standardized care delivery, continuous quality improvement, and effective team dynamics.
