Patient-centered care

Your patients look to you to provide guidance, information, comfort and compassion. When you increase engagement, it can lead to a multitude of positive outcomes such as:

  • Improving your patients’ awareness and appreciation of the integral role you play in their health care
  • Enhancing their understanding and comfort with radiology tests and procedures
  • Empowering them to make better-informed decisions about their health care

Radiology Cares® is an RSNA initiative designed to give you the resources and educational materials you and your colleagues need to become more patient-centered in your practice and better align with your patients’ needs.

“Your dedication to the comfort and needs of your patients is beyond measure.”
