Getting the Most Out of RADPEER™

RADPEER (TM) is a quality assessment and improvement product developed and marketed by the ACR. Although the program has been available since 2002 and the scoring system was revised in 2009, the ACR allows considerable flexibility in its implementation. Although that flexibility supports the local needs of radiology groups using the program, it also may lead to suboptimal implementation of the program and may limit the usefulness of the data obtained. The authors, who are members of the ACR RADPEER Committee, provide 11 specific suggestions to optimize the performance of RADPEER and suggest opportunities for future improvement of the program.
