“…Indeed, individual and societal leaders in radiology have long emphasized the need for radiologists to be more directly communicative with patients, both as a matter of patient-centered care and as a matter of long-term professional viability (17). Some have even advocated that the interests of both patients and radiologists would be best served by having radiologists sacrifice revenue for the sake of more direct patient care engagement (2) a financial incentive. Such payments substantially increase survey response rates among busy medical specialists (25).…”

Purpose The objectives of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Patient-Centered Radiology Steering Committee survey were to (a) assess RSNA members' general attitudes and experiences concerning patient-centered radiology, with specific attention paid to radiologist-to-patient communication; (b) examine the members' barriers to communicating more directly with patients; and (c) explore their perceptions of how such barriers can be overcome. Materials and Methods A total of 5999 radiologists were invited by e-mail to complete an anonymous electronic survey developed by the Steering Committee and the RSNA Department of Research. Participants were asked to identify aspects of patient-centered care important to their practice, report on their interactions with patients, and share their opinions on radiologist-patient communication. Statistical analyses were performed by using the χ test and analysis of variance. Results The response rate was 12% (n = 694, 109 invitations were undeliverable). Most respondents (89%, 611 of 684) agreed that promoting awareness of the role of radiology in patients' overall health care is important to how they practice. The majority (73%, 421 of 575) reported that time or workload frequently prevented them from communicating directly with patients. The majority (74%, 423 of 572) reported that a personal sense of satisfaction was likely to motivate them to communicate more directly with patients, but many commented that changes to reimbursement and compensation would help them communicate with patients more directly. Conclusion Many radiologists support the concept of communicating more directly with patients but report they are constrained by time or workload. Changes to reimbursement schemes may help mitigate these barriers to one crucial aspect of patient-centered care. RSNA, 2017 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

“…Consequently, our work product has been compressed toward a state of commoditization [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Despite this race to the bottom, the 2 most widely used productivity indicators at academic radiology centers, as of 2013, remained examination volume and examination volume per modality [8].…”

“…21 Furthermore, these criteria will likely become the benchmark against which insurers will reimburse testing, 22 and, although traditional Medicare has not established preauthorization requirements for radiology, regional carrier reimbursement policy is becoming increasingly stringent. It is expected that AC, such as those produced by the ACR, will be implemented into all imaging order entry decision-support systems and will be continuously refined to ensure medically necessary imaging.…”
