Please describe the publication's mission and readership:

The ACR Bulletin supports the American College of Radiology's Core Purpose by covering topics relevant to the practice of radiology and by connecting the College with members, the wider specialty, and others. By empowering members to advance the practice, science, and professions of radiological care, the Bulletin aims to support high-quality patient-centered healthcare.

Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

In the shift to value-based care, radiologists need to be on the forefront of patient- and family-centered care (PFCC). Radiologists have a unique risk of becoming disconnected from patients, because they are so often isolated in the reading room. But by placing patients at the center of care — as PFCC necessitates — imagers can mitigate burnout and provide better care.

How can our patients become radiologists' partners? And why is it important that they think of them that way — that they expand the role that not only patients, but also their families, play in their own care?

These are the important questions continuously circled in this ACR Bulletin special issue on patient- and family-centered care (PFCC). What does this look like exactly? And how can radiologists be better advocates for PFCC in their own departments or practices? The pages of this special issue illuminate the innovative and forward-thinking ways radiologists are approaching PFCC to be better partners to patients and their families — no matter the form that essential partnership might take.
