American College Of Radiology Uses McKesson Solution To Offer Acclaimed Learning Library Online

Using McKesson"s Horizon Study Share™ reference case solution, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has made its entire library of ACR Learning File® images and content available online as a Web-hosted archive to ACR members and others in the field. The ACR Learning File® includes a collection of more than 3,600 peer-reviewed cases in 12 subspecialties, with more than 10,000 high-quality images depicting thousands of diagnoses. Key findings and detailed discussions supplement the images, making the library a unique experience for practicing radiologists and members in training. McKesson worked with ACR to transfer the entire ACR Learning File® library from CDs into the Horizon Study Share repository. "Given the dynamic nature of radiology and the need for anytime/anywhere access to current information, offering the ACR Learning File® library online helps us to ensure this essential re is readily available, relevant and reliable," said Lawrence Davis, MD, FACR, chair of the American College of Radiology Education Commission.
