title: Roundtable: charting the way forward.
abstract: Radiology leaders met at the inaugural AHRA-GE Healthcare Annual Summit to discuss challenges facing the profession and opportunities to drive success in a fast changing care environment. Changes in the healthcare environment mean unprecedented challenges for the radiology profession. The Affordable Care Act, declining reimbursement, an aging population, growing consumer choice, and other trends are forcing radiology leaders to reexamine their ways of doing business and even the basic role of radiologists in patient care. Twelve members of AHRA shared their views on essential topics in a moderated roundtable discussion. That discussion is transcribed here.
