Is a radiographer led immediate reporting service for emergency department referrals a cost effective initiative?
2013, RadiographyCitation Excerpt :Despite this increasing reporting capacity, and the introduction of national guidance on report turn-around times11 stating that reports for ED patients should be issued on the day of patient attendance, the timeliness of definitive ED image reports appears to be unchanged with delays in report availability of up to 10 days persisting.12 As a result, the responsibility for initial radiographic interpretation lies with the ED clinician (medical or nursing) managing the patients care, although several authors have reported concerns in relation to ED radiographic interpretation errors13–17 and the significant clinical risk that undiagnosed and misdiagnosed injuries present15,17 and their potential predisposition to long term morbidity. Failure to improve image report turnaround times in the UK has perhaps been a consequence of traditional Radiology workload organisation (typically 9 am – 5 pm Monday – Friday) which has previously precluded the implementation of immediate reporting.
A FROC analysis of radiographers performance in identification of distal radial fractures
2009, European Journal of RadiographyCitation Excerpt :Radiographic reports should be timely and accurate and must be filed before the patient leaves the x-ray department [18] according to the American college of Radiology and should be ‘timely and accurate’, according to the Royal College of Radiologists [19,20]. Studies show that this is frequently not the case [21,22]. Radiographers have demonstrated that they can perform to equal levels as radiologists and the current work shows the potential of radiographers untrained in image interpretation to be part of the solution [23,24].
