The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) recently became a member — or spoke — of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Customer Experience Hub. The hub is intended to ensure that future healthcare advancements are patient-centric and deliver improved outcomes for all Americans.

The Customer Experience Hub is part of a nationwide health innovation network (ARPANET-H) that targets prevention, treatment and diagnosis needs through a proactive approach.

ACR’s commitment to resources that make imaging safe, effective and accessible was one of the reasons it was chosen to become a spoke member. By selecting ACR, ARPA-H recognizes the important role ACR plays in radiology — and the College’s expertise in research.
