RSNA Radiology Reporting Initiative
The RSNA has established a Radiology Reporting Committee to identify and promote "best practices" in radiology reporting. The Committee, part of the Radiology Informatics Committee, includes radiologists and imaging informatics experts.

- November 2008: In conjunction with the RSNA Quality Improvement Committee, developed a standardized template for documenting communication of critical test results.
- March 2009: Recruited 15 Template Development Subcommittees to create templates for specific clinical areas in conjunction with subspecialty professional organizations.
- May 2009: RSNA held an industry forum for radiology reporting vendors, attended by 20 vendor representatives.
