Increasing expectations of clinical productivity also increase the potential for interpretive errors. Enhancing physicians’ abilities to assess and distinguish between common misses is essential for improving performance. This Online Course will discuss how to implement practice-based strategies for turning errors into opportunities in both acute and routine imaging settings. Spanning the spectrum from pediatrics to geriatrics, this Online Course not only reviews clinical cases, it also incorporates applied skills for overcoming misses utilizing advanced technology—all while leveraging the expertise of renowned radiology faculty from around the country.
