Connecting medical imaging leaders to the latest industry news, best practices, and AHRA happenings.
By David S. Partridge, CRA, FAHRA
Imaging performance is documented in so many ways, and now more and more of these metrics are becoming public. The Radiology Administration Certification Commission (RACC) is not immune to performance measurement and I am excited to spread the news about our results so far this year.
While the field of medical imaging continues to evolve, industry leaders are devoted to developing the latest and greatest products and services that enable advancement. Congratulations to the winning products and all featured who have demonstrated innovation and advancement in the field of imaging!

“Surprise” or out-of-network medical bills arise when a patient receives medical care at a hospital inside their insurance network but is later hit with an enormous bill because those providing the treatment were out-of-network.

When I started this journey, I knew we were in for one of the biggest challenges in AHRA history, in finding a new CEO. This work was paramount to the future success of the association. The selection committee, led by AHRA Board Member Rick Perez, did an excellent job vetting search firms and candidates to find our new leader.
