Abstract

The 2017 ACR Workforce Survey included questions for group leaders about management trends and areas in which they need more help from the ACR. Respondents identified point of care ultrasound as the area in which they need the most help. Most respondents gave positive or neutral answers regarding their role in the management of radiology allied health professionals and radiology information technology, and most believed their role and influence in decision making in the organization were not decreasing.

Keywords: ACR 2017 Workforce Survey; point of care ultrasound; radiologist strategic needs; radiology information technology; radiology management trends.
