The introduction of pay for performance in medicine represents an opportunity for radiologists to define quality in radiology. Radiology quality can be defined on the basis of the production model that currently drives reimbursement, codifying the role of radiologists as being limited to the production of timely and accurate radiology reports produced in conditions of maximum patient safety and communicated in a timely manner. Alternately, quality in radiology can also encompass the professional role of radiologists as diagnostic imaging specialists responsible for the appropriate use, selection, interpretation, and application of imaging. Although potentially challenging to implement, the professional model for radiology quality is a comprehensive assessment of the ways in which radiologists add value to patient care. This essay is a discussion of the definition of radiology quality and the implications of that definition.
医学领域引入绩效薪酬制为放射科医生界定放射学质量提供了契机。放射学质量可依据当前驱动报销的生产模式来界定，将放射科医生的角色规定为仅限于在确保患者安全最大化的条件下及时、准确地出具放射学报告，并及时传达这些报告。另外，放射学质量还可涵盖放射科医生作为诊断成像专家在影像的合理使用、选择、解读及应用方面的专业角色。尽管实施起来可能具有挑战性，但放射学质量的专业模式是对放射科医生为患者护理增添价值的方式进行的全面评估。本文旨在探讨放射学质量的定义及其定义所带来的影响。
