The 2017 theme is linking benchmarking and innovation with daily Imaging measures. Members of the group will detail what simple daily and weekly Imaging measures are used to drive efficient Imaging performance. The Imaging benchmarking reports will be used to validate good performers.

Members of the group provide detailed activity data for each patient encounter for comparative analysis by The Health Roundtable. This is merged with inpatient and ED episode data to provide additional insights. The workshop will provide time to discuss issues and innovative practices to improve your Imaging service.

This year we will again provide our new executive summary report allowing you to see at a glance how your imaging department compares with other members across key modalities and patient groups.
