About Reviewing Reports

In a typical radiology reporting workflow, radiologists support patient care by the provision of accurate and timely reports on appropriate imaging. The report a radiologist produces is his or her professional opinion, based on information available at the time of the review. Therefore, with hindsight, often combined with additional information, a discrepancy may be acknowledged in the original interpretation of a study.

To ensure that processes are in place to minimize the potential harm to the patient of such events and to ensure that there is a learning process in place to avoid repetition, InteleViewer provides several tightly-integrated Peer Review and quality control tools to offer a consistent review workflow covering the entire patient reporting process.

Reviewing radiologists can choose from the following peer review workflows to ensure quality assurance within their regular reading and reporting workflow:

• Radiologists can randomly select reports to peer review.
• Radiologists are requested to conduct a peer review when they open a prior study case that has been flagged for review.
• Radiologists can complete reviews assigned to them by a proprietary Assignment Engine and that appear in their Peer Review worklist.

InteleViewer also supports the reading workflow of academic institutions, based on preliminary interpretations performed by residents or fellows with final approval by attending physicians.

For workflows that require two radiologists to review certain exams before the final report is sent out, InteleViewer provides you with a double reading workflow.
