She is a leading expert on radiology peer review and speaks frequently about the need for standardized performance assessment in radiology.
"Hospital payers and accrediting organizations are now turning their attention to radiology," said Ms. Yates. "And they should, given its importance in the diagnostic process and impact on patients. It is essential that any weaknesses in the quality or safety of the service are identified and mitigated, which will make the radiology department more competitive under any payment scenario. Delivery of reliable, high value services is the new imperative in radiology."
