Following its Spring meeting, the Quality Improvement Committee issued a call
for storyboard abstracts that describe quality assessment and improvement initiatives
in the field of radiology that have taken place in institutions to improve the care
or service provided to patients. After a rigorous peer-review process, 26 abstracts
were selected for development into Storyboards. These were displayed in the Health
Services Research, Policy, and Practice section of the Lakeside Learning Center
at RSNA 2009.
