Performance measures in radiology play an increasingly significant role in health care quality assessment and now form the basis for a variety of pay-for-performance programs, including those administered by CMS. This article introduces the measure development process, beginning with topic selection, followed by measure development and testing, National Quality Forum endorsement, and implementation. Once implemented, measures may undergo further testing and be re-endorsed, modified, or retired. Radiologists should familiarize themselves with the measures relevant to their practice, develop ways to collect and report data efficiently, and implement the necessary practice changes to meet measure criteria and improve the quality of their practice.
放射学中的绩效指标在医疗质量评估中发挥着越来越重要的作用，如今已成为各种按绩效付费计划的基础，包括医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）管理的那些计划。本文介绍了指标制定过程，首先是主题选择，接着是指标开发与测试、国家质量论坛认可及实施。一旦实施，指标可能会接受进一步测试，并被重新认可、修改或停用。放射科医生应熟悉与其业务相关的指标，制定高效收集和报告数据的方法，并实施必要的业务变革以满足指标标准并提高其实践质量。
