Change is risky. And takes time. Morris et al estimated that translation of evidence into practice averages 17 years [ 1 Morris Z.S. Wooding S. Grant J. The answer is 17 years, what is the question: understanding time lags in translational research. ]. This time lag may be magnified when systems we wish to change are more complex or decision-making authority lies outside our sphere of influence.

Abstract Purpose Actionable incidental findings (AIFs) are common in radiologic imaging. Imaging is commonly performed in emergency department (ED) visits, and AIFs are frequently encountered, but the ED presents unique challenges for communication and follow-up of these findings. The authors formed a multidisciplinary panel to seek consensus regarding best practices in the reporting, communication, and follow-up of AIFs on ED imaging tests.

Radiologists work in an unpredictable world. Reflecting on the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provides a pressing example. To be resilient, we must adapt to an ever-changing health care environment. Resiliency allows one to survive challenges without failure or decline. What if it were possible to benefit from uncertainty and become stronger because of it? This is the question Nassim Taleb addresses in his book, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder [ 1 Taleb N.

Introduction Physicist Richard Gott correctly predicted that the pyramids of Egypt would last longer than the Berlin wall. His insight, called the Lindy effect, was that the longevity of nonperishables, such as stories, ideas, and innovations, depended on how long they have been around. Simply put, the longer something has been around, the longer it will be around. This tautology belies the fact that time filters bad ideas.

We recorded whether a summative class rank or assessment was offered in each school’s MSPE, and if there was, we recorded whether it was a numeric class rank or a multitiered group ranking, the number of tiers of grouping, and whether the tiers were statistically balanced (equal number of students in each tier, for instance, strict quartiles or quintiles) or unbalanced (unequal number of students in each tier).

Objectives The potential of rideshare services to facilitate timely radiation therapy (RT), especially for resource-limited patients, is understudied. Methods Patients (n = 63) who received 73 courses of RT (1,513 fractions) and utilized free hospital-provided rideshare service (537 rides) were included in this retrospective study.
