AHRA: The Association for Medical Imaging Management has approved the formation of an online data, analytics, and benchmarking tool in collaboration with radiology services and solutions provider Regents Health Resources, Inc., Franklin, Tennessee. The product will be developed with input from AHRA member facilities and will utilize Regents' “Mirror” automated data and analytics tool for imaging providers. AHRA CEO Ed Cronin said the new tool will allow practitioners access to current information and benchmarks, eliminating the lag between traditional data collection and distribution.”We look forward to working with Regents on this initiative to deliver a robust data analytics and benchmarking tool for our members and their respective organizations,” Cronin observed. “Together, we will begin customizing Mirror and its functionality for AHRA immediately while also integrating historical data from AHRA members for reference and trending,” added Regents’ President Brian Baker.
