Authentication and management of radiologic reports: value of a computer workstation integrated with a radiology information system

MS Frank and AH Rowberg
Department of Radiology, University of Washington School of Medicine, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle 98104.

An increasing number of radiology departments are using computers to facilitate management of radiologic information. Transcription, storage, and printing of radiologic reports are among the primary functions of a radiology information system. Consequently, manual signature of radiologic reports is being replaced by on-line electronic authentication. However, the utilities provided on most radiology information systems to review, edit, and otherwise manipulate radiologic reports are relatively crude compared with commercial word- processing and data-base management software available for personal computers. We have developed a personal computer software system that is integrated with our existing radiology information system; expedites the radiologist's task of reviewing, editing, and authenticating (i.e., signing) radiologic reports; provides a teaching file data base on the workstation into which radiologic reports and patients' demographics can be instantly transferred; and provides a similar data base to facilitate follow-up on those examinations deemed appropriate for quality-assurance procedures. These features improve the radiologist's efficiency and increase his or her willingness to more fully exploit the intended purposes of a radiology information system.
