ACR Patient Friendly Animations: Empowering Patients in Radiology

This webinar will review an initiative by the American College of Radiology Patient and Family Centered Care Commission to engage patients and empower them in their care. Most patients do not have the medical knowledge to understand the appropriate use of imaging tests for their clinical condition. To help address this issue, the ACR created patient friendly animations about the recommended imaging tests for a variety of common medical conditions. The animations provide patients with explanations about the appropriate use of imaging tests that they can use in shared decision making with their clinicians. This webinar will present the process used to create these animations, discuss the strategy to promote them, and review the data regarding the success of the program to date.
