    Abstract This paper describes the innovative approach of using liberating structures to the development of the AUR 2023 strategic plan, and lessons learned in their application. The 2023 strategic plan built on the results and approach of the prior 2015 plan. Similar to the 2015 strategic plan, traditional tools such as a SWOT analysis and strategic retreat were used. In addition, the 2023 process included tools called liberating structures and was iteratively co-produced through a series of virtual meetings over 18 months. Advantages of liberating structures included increased creativity and speed in moving through meeting tasks, increased number of meaningful contributions from AUR members and increased engagement from participants during discussions and meetings. The 2023 AUR strategic plan is provided along with examples of completed goals and those under early implementation. Lessons learned from using these tools for strategic planning can be applied to other society and group meetings. Moving forward, the 2023 strategic plan will be a living document, which will be reviewed at each Board of Directors meeting and periodically adapted.

    Abstract Electronic consultations (e-consults) mediated through an electronic health record system or web-based platform allow synchronous or asynchronous physician-to-physician communication. E-consults have been explored in various clinical specialties, but relatively few instances in the literature describe e-consults to connect health care providers directly with radiologists.The authors outline how a radiology department can implement an e-consult service and review the development of such a service in a large academic health system. They describe the logistics, workflow, turnaround time expectations, stakeholder management, and pilot implementation and highlight challenges and lessons learned.

    Abstract There is a growing emphasis on population health management (PHM) in the United States, in part because it has the worst health outcomes indices among high-income countries despite spending by far the most on health care. Successful PHM is expected to lead to a healthier population with reduced health care utilization and cost. The role of radiology in PHM is increasingly being recognized, including efforts in care coordination, secondary prevention, and appropriate imaging utilization, among others. To further discuss economic considerations for PHM, we must understand the evolving health care payer environment, which combines fee-for-service and increasingly, an alternative payment model framework developed by the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network. In considering the term "value-based care," perceived value needs to accrue to those who ultimately pay for care, which is more commonly employers and the government. This perspective drives the design of alternative payment models and thus should be taken into consideration to ensure sustainable practice models.

    Abstract Objective: The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 requires clinicians to consult Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) when ordering advanced imaging procedures. Free-text order indications are available when there is no applicable structured indication but are unscored by the AUC. We determined the proportion of free-text indications among all advanced imaging orders and the proportion of free-text indications that could be mapped to a single structured indication.
    Methods: All outpatient advanced diagnostic imaging orders placed in a large multisite health system were recorded after initial AUC deployment (November 20, 2017, to December 19, 2017). Clinicians were prompted upon order entry to select a structured indication or enter a free-text indication. We manually reviewed the two imaging examinations with the highest rate of free-text indications: enhanced CT abdomen/pelvis and unenhanced CT head. Regression analysis examined differences in patient-, imaging-, context-, and provider-level characteristics between scored and unscored examinations.
    Results: Among all 39,533 orders for advanced imaging procedures, 59% (23,267 of 39,533) were unscored by the system. The regression model c-statistic (0.50-0.55) demonstrated poor model fit to evaluate for differences between scored and unscored examinations. Free-text indications were found in 71% (16,440 of 23,267) of unscored examinations and 42% (16,440 of 39,533) of all examinations. Manual review of all 1,693 CT abdomen/pelvis and 1,527 CT head examinations with free-text indications revealed that 3,132 free-text indications (97%) could be mapped to a single existing structured indication.
    Discussion: Of all initially placed outpatient advanced imaging procedure orders, 42% included free-text indications and 97% of manually reviewed free-text indications could be mapped to a single structured indication.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess appropriateness scoring and structured order entry after the implementation of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for analysis of free-text indications.
    Methods: Advanced outpatient imaging orders in a multicenter health care system were recorded 7 months before (March 1, 2020, to September 21, 2020) and after (October 20, 2020, to May 13, 2021) the implementation of an AI tool targeting free-text indications. Clinical decision support score (not appropriate, may be appropriate, appropriate, or unscored) and indication type (structured, free-text, both, or none) were assessed. The χ
    Results: In total, 115,079 orders before and 150,950 orders after AI tool deployment were analyzed. The mean patient age was 59.3 ± 15.5 years, and 146,035 (54.9%) were women; 49.9% of orders were for CT, 38.8% for MR, 5.9% for nuclear medicine, and 5.4% for PET. After deployment, scored orders increased to 52% from 30% (P < .001). Orders with structured indications increased to 67.3% from 34.6% (P < .001). On multivariate analysis, orders were more likely to be scored after tool deployment (odds ratio [OR], 2.7, 95% CI, 2.63-2.78; P < .001). Compared with physicians, orders placed by nonphysician providers were less likely to be scored (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.78-0.83; P < .001). MR (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.82-0.87) and PET (OR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.10-0.13) were less likely to be scored than CT (; P < .001). After AI tool deployment, 72,083 orders (47.8%) remained unscored, 45,186 (62.7%) with free-text-only indications.
    Conclusions: Embedding AI assistance within imaging clinical decision support was associated with increased structured indication orders and independently predicted a higher likelihood of scored orders. However, 48% of orders remained unscored, driven by both provider behavior and infrastructure-related barriers.

    Abstract Objective: Pennsylvania Act 112 requires diagnostic imaging facilities to directly notify outpatients about significant imaging abnormalities that require follow-up care within 3 months. The effects of Act 112 on patient care are unclear. We sought to characterize follow-up discussions and care received by outpatients with significant imaging abnormalities as defined by Act 112.
    Methods: We evaluated findings flagged for patient notification under Act 112 at our institution over a 1-month period. We analyzed findings for radiologic reporting, follow-up discussions between patients and ordering providers, and follow-up medical care provided.
    Results: Follow-up discussions were documented for 87% of findings (n = 205 of 235) and occurred on average 6.0 days after imaging examinations were performed. Follow-up discussions directly attributable to the Act 112 letter occurred in 0.4% of findings. Follow-up care was provided for 74% of findings on average 31.3 days after imaging examinations were performed. Provider-initiated follow-up discussions occurred earlier and were associated with shorter time to follow-up care when compared with patient-initiated discussions. Direct contact of ordering provider by interpreting radiologist was a significant predictor of occurrence of follow-up discussions and length of time to follow-up care.
    Discussion: Act 112 had a small impact at our institution on improving completed follow-up for abnormal imaging findings. Our results also imply that health systems should encourage timeliness of patient-provider discussions of abnormal imaging findings and facilitate direct radiologist communication with ordering providers. Future studies should evaluate the impact of Act 112 in different practice settings to understand its broader impact on follow-up care.
