The era of health care reform and the information superhighway. Implications for radiology.
Radiology is undergoing dramatic change, along with the rest of the health care system, in its mode of organization, financing, and delivery. Information technology is becoming central to health care delivery and will enable a higher degree of integration of imaging practice with the rest of the health care system. Radiology will need to address the requirements for achieving this integration to continue to be successful in the future.
