The ACR annually engages in a long-range planning activity called the FORUM on a specific issue deemed important to the specialty of radiology over a horizon of 5 to 10 years. The FORUM brings together experts from multiple disciplines to discuss the topic, develop scenarios, and make recommendations to the ACR and the specialty on what courses to take to improve the development of radiology. The Third Annual FORUM, held May 21 to 23, 2003, was on the subject of improving quality and safety. The sessions ended with numerous recommendations as to how the specialty of radiology could promote safer, higher quality imaging that would also engage the interest and participation of the public, employers, insurers, and government. These fell into the following categories: (1) how to measure the performance of radiologists, (2) how to use measurements of performance to improve quality and safety, (3) means of working with employers and insurers to improve care and reduce waste, (4) the development of new ACR programs intended to foster change, and (5) disseminating information about ACR efforts on behalf of improving quality and safety.
美国放射学会（ACR）每年都会开展一项名为“论坛”的长期规划活动，该活动聚焦于在5到10年时间范围内对放射学专业而言被视为重要的特定问题。“论坛”汇聚了来自多个学科的专家，共同探讨主题、制定方案，并就放射学应采取何种举措以促进自身发展向ACR及整个专业领域提出建议。2003年5月21日至23日举行的第三届年度“论坛”主题是提高质量与安全。会议结束时提出了众多建议，涉及放射学专业如何促进更安全、更高质量的成像，同时还能吸引公众、雇主、保险公司及政府的关注与参与。这些建议分为以下几类：（1）如何衡量放射科医生的工作表现；（2）如何利用工作表现衡量指标来提高质量与安全；（3）与雇主和保险公司合作以改善医疗服务并减少浪费的方式；（4）旨在推动变革的新ACR项目的开展；（5）传播ACR在提高质量与安全方面所做努力的相关信息。
