According to a new report by the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, physician-focused payment models (PFPMs) provide a compelling opportunity for radiologists to demonstrate and be rewarded for their unique contributions toward patient care. The report also said PFPMs may foster greater radiologist participation in advanced alternative payment models (APMs) under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015. The study is published online in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR).

There was a time when cardiac cath was the only way to see what was happening in the heart. Today that can be done with mainstream computed tomography (CT) — not one souped up for cardiology, ones intended for radiological applications, ones that can freeze the motion of the human heart noninvasively. Wow.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it is building the foundations of a national evaluation system to generate better evidence more efficiently for medical device evaluation and regulatory decision-making. The agency said a national evaluation system would generate evidence across the total product lifecycle of medical devices by strategically and systematically leveraging real-world evidence, and applying advanced analytics to data tailored to the unique data needs and innovation cycles of medical devices.

Advances in healthcare practice and technology are largely driven by research, and in recent years perhaps no discipline has been more influential than informatics — the study and practice of creating, storing, finding, sharing and manipulating information. More efficient storage and sharing of medical data are crucial in the transition to value-based healthcare, and radiology plays a central role in these efforts. Several major studies published in 2016 examined the role of informatics technology in medical imaging, and many of those studies were highlighted in a session at the 102nd annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 27-Dec. 2, 2016, in Chicago.

In 2016, the America Cancer Society expected 1,685,210 new cancer diagnoses in the United States alone. And according to the National Cancer Institute, approximately half of all patients diagnosed with cancer will undergo radiation therapy as part of their treatment plan. Given the large number of patients turning to radiation oncology, it is no wonder there is an immense focus on continually advancing this treatment technique. Millions of lives depend upon it.
