ACR and SUR Announce Joint PQI Project
Practice Quality Improvement (PQI) is one of four components of the American Board of Radiology’s Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process. All radiologists who require MOC must have selected a project by the beginning of 2008 that is relevant to their practice, is achievable in a practice setting, produces measurable results that are suitable for repeated measurements, and is able to effect quality improvement.
The Society of Uroradiology and American College of Radiology together have developed an online PQI project that meets the above requirements. It has been qualified by the American Board of Radiology in meeting the criteria for PQI toward the purpose of fulfilling requirements in the ABR’s MOC program.
The project is titled ICE which stands for Intravenous Iodinated Contrast Extravasation during Computerized Tomography. Radiologists may participate in the project individually or as part of a group. For more information and registration, visit the following Web site and click on the ICE icon.
If you have any questions concerning this PQI project please contact Dr. Tom Dykes at 717-531-7948 or tdykes@hmc.psu.edu. Registration assistance and technical questions should be directed to Lu Meyer of the ACR at 800-227-5463, ext. 4958 or lmeyer@acr.org.
