ACR initiative aims to diffuse radiologist-hospital tensions

(DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, John Hayes) -- A new initiative by the American College of Radiology addresses growing tensions between hospitals and their contracted radiology groups, some of which have caused the relationship to end in a bitter breakup.

A year in the works, the report by the ACR’s Task Force on Relationships Between Radiologists and Hospitals and Other Healthcare Organizations is due to be published in the June issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
