Results
The structured reporting system has been demonstrated for use with PQRS measure #147 (correlation with existing imaging studies for all patients undergoing bone scintigraphy),
QCDR #1 (CT colonography true positive rate) and QCDR #2 (CT colonography clinically significant extracolonic findings).
Correlating image findings from narrative descriptive reports can be tedious,
time-consuming,
and costly due to the need for human abstractors as illustrated in figure 4.
ViSionTM allows for the direct and accurate correlation of specific findings from serial exams to identify concordant and discordant findings for outcomes.
In figure 5,
two of the findings mentioned in the reports from figure 4 are presented as ViSionTM timelines which enables automated correlation.
Similarly,
the timeline concept can be used to correlate CT colonography findings with colonoscopy,
pathology,
and even genetic information as illustrated in figures 6 and 7.
