ImPower & Learning Network: Empowering Frontline Staff

The ACR Learning Network is a community of organizations who are leading the way in solving global problems in radiology and sharing learnings based on their improved performance. ImPower is the quality improvement (QI) program that uses a collaborative learning model to support the ongoing development of the ACR Learning Network. In ImPower, multidisciplinary project teams are taught structured QI and guided in effectively applying that methodology to their improvement projects.

Organizations are grouped by different focus areas into improvement collaboratives, where together they develop a shared understanding of a common problem, implement improvement-driven measures, and establish best practices. Six improvement collaboratives utilize established objectives: Recommendations Follow-up, Mammography Positioning, Mammography Health Equity, Lung Cancer Screening, Prostate MR Image Quality and CT Dose Optimization. A seventh improvement collaborative, the General Improvement Group, is how organizations can bring a challenge of their own choosing through ImPower.

Join ImPower to collaborate with peer institutions, develop physician QI leaders, improve staff engagement, strengthen internal and external relationships, publish your improvement project and build an organizational foundation for effective problem solving.
