“As many software companies work to create programs that will give uniform structure to the way radiological test results are reported, a new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine shows that such a system does not improve, but rather decreases the completeness and accuracy of the reports.
The study, published recently in Radiology, compared the accuracy and completeness of reporting test results in a free text, narrative format versus using standardized words and phrases from a pull-down menu (structured reporting).”
