TeleradiologyHUB is at the forefront in making easy and basic AI based reporting templates in radiology. TeleradiologyHUB analysis Wing studies number of reports, categorised their objectives and their styles before venturing into sample or standard formats. The wing found amazing insights. Radiology report writing is an undistinguished area of radiologists to write their reports with freedoms in their own ways. Sometimes reporting style similar to signature that defines a radiologist.
TeleradiologyHUB analysis is able to study different classes of reporting styles across 23 countries through their trial reporting tool. It essentially uses normative approach and subjective aesthetics in standardising report templates. These are broadly 3 classes of report writing styles, that TeleradiologyHUB endorses:
1. Technical reporting style
2. Decorative reporting style
3. Sensitised reporting style
Technical report writing originates from the core knowledge domain I.e. radiology. Every radiologist is trained to be technical and accurate with findings that puts radio diagnosis into clinical or medical perspective. The more technical reports are, it becomes more short and meaningful to the referring physician. You might few technical words that sets more questions to general audience general discomforting to patients. TeleradiologyHUB panel provides free interpretation support to 1000s of patients on monthly basis, therefore it gets a articulated feedback from patients. Also other side of technical report is that it may not be always liked by the diagnostic centres. As TeleradiologyHUB deals with 100s of diagnostic centres daily, these centres are generally stationed by managers who have little depth in radio diagnosis, often request descriptive reports to impress their clients.
Decorative style of report writing has its genesis mainly in copy writing than in radiology itself. It is good to look good in reports therefore some radiologists take extra care in putting headings like Techniques, Findings, and Impressions at proper places. They also highlight the lines or sentences at distinguished points.. The headings and fonts make a difference in quick picking up points in the report. Even if report is technical, it attracts more eyeballs from clients in short time if the headings and fonts are proper . TeleradiologyHUB engineers standard templates that help radiologists and clinicians to put his or her findings acutely and narrowly that would save everyone's time. However it is always not possible to have standard templates, in such cases radiologists needs to have more detailed attention to the reporting. Hence template should also give freedom to write his judgement. Decorative reports substantial and proves good in any of the tests and likened by everyone including fellow radiologists.
Sensitised reports have genesis not just in copy writing or radiology but it has its root in reflection of the patients worries. The reading of report is not only done technically capable people. In such situation, for fellow radiologist it gives a chance to create his brand with his reporting style that is legible to all stakeholders. Radiologist takes more care in knowing attributes of reflection and introduces technical words in a way that provides definitively explained , then he or she takes extra time and effort to fit common lexicon and objective interpretation in a very friendly fashion.
"Though all reporting style has benefits but it is always better to mix and engineers a report learning and undertaking 3 styles in a sensible mix. It gives additional handles in the hands of radiologists to express themselves to the world that is so connected", . . "It's fun".
