The Custom Structured Radiology Report from vRad

vRad’s Custom Structured Reports offer several advantages including:

• Use the same language—any errors in the dictation or transcription processes can counteract the clinical accuracy of image acquisition and exam interpretation. Errors in transcription are common; vRad’s structured reporting solution “maps” language—which makes the reports more consistent, easy to read and understand.
• Follow the same format—structured reports organize data and present findings in the same way which improves referring physician efficiency and comprehension.  For example, if you find that your referring physicians are missing incidental findings buried in the body section of reports, you can customize vRad’s reports to have findings categorized by organ system. Or, you can satisfy referral’s preferences by listing impression at the top or bottom of the report.
• Can be produced quickly and at a higher level of quality—our proprietary workflow captures and auto-populates “objective” information including: exam type, laterality, number of images, prior exams, etc.— and presents the data in a consistent format to our radiologists for review and interpretation.  This reduces distractions and streamlines our radiologist’s workflow—and ultimately results in faster turnaround times and higher quality reports.
• Yield consistent data—consistent data can be more easily coded or mined for clinical, billing, or research purposes.
• Result in higher reimbursement rates—we combine Integrated Intelligence with Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the report copy and verify—based on procedure type—that required dictation is present.  This helps ensure appropriate reimbursement and saves your billing team time.
• Allow our radiologists to keep their eyes on images at all times —vRad’s structured reports are created in real-time; our radiologists are not “editing” an existing report template—they are keeping their eyes on the images at all times.
• Can be customized to fit your referring physician’s preferences—design facility-specific reports by selecting from over 20 attributes including:  impression first or last, impression bulleted or numbered, list findings by organ system, bold, underline or indent, and many more.
