title: Is Value-Driven Health Care an Unfunded Mandate for Radiologists?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The goals of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) can be summed up by the Triple Aim, as defined by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement: Improve population health, optimize the patient experience, and reduce the costs of care.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite recent reimbursement reductions, radiologists have increasing opportunities to participate in value-based payment programs and should leverage those opportunities.
