Comparing practice performance to regional and national benchmarks is an
important tool for improving the quality of patient care. ACR's NRDR -
the National Radiology Data Registry - will help your facility benchmark
outcomes and process-of-care measures and develop quality-improvement
programs.
NRDR, a warehouse of ACR registry databases, compares radiology
facilities regionally and nationwide according to facility type. By
submitting your data to NRDR, your practice will be provided with:
Detailed and graphic reports in a standardized format for comparing quality
A tool that can be used to target specific areas for improving practice
An accurate reflection of practice patterns
An opportunity to participate in a nationwide quality improvement effort
The ability to document the quality of services delivered by your facility to interested third parties
The ability to measure impact of changes in practice
The ability to implement a data-driven quality improvement program
