Health Care's Pursuit of Value: Easier Done Than Said?

Presented by: Richard Duszak, MD, FACR, FRBMA

Value has become the elusive holy grail of health care. Much attention has been focused on "value based purchasing" but value remains yet to be rigorously defined using clinically valid and reproducible metrics. Intended to be both provocative and informative, this session will provide perspectives on how value has been defined in health care (and specifically medical imaging) in the past, and how physicians (and specifically radiologists) can take a leadership role in both their practices and national policy development.

At the conclusion of this session the attendee will be able to:

  • Define value in the context of health care, and understand how different stakeholders prioritize its many components in different ways
  • Identify opportunities for measuring and enhancing value as service lines become increasingly automated and standardized
  • Articulate the importance of outcomes-based research in promoting a value agenda for medical imaging
