Comparing practice performance to regional and national benchmarks is an important tool for improving the quality of patient care. ACR's NRDR – the National Radiology Data Registry – will help your facility benchmark outcomes and process-of-care measures and develop quality improvement programs.

NRDR, a warehouse of ACR registries, compares radiology facilities regionally and nationwide according to facility type. By submitting your data to NRDR, your practice will be provided with:

• Detailed and graphic reports in a standardized format for comparing quality
• A tool for targeting specific areas of improvement
• An accurate reflection of practice patterns
• The ability to document the quality of services delivered by your facilities to interested third parties
• The ability to measure impact of changes in practice
