- November 2008: In conjunction with the RSNA Quality Improvement Committee, developed a standardized template for documenting communication of critical test results.
- March 2009: Recruited 15 subcommittees to develop templates in specific clinical areas in conjunction with subspecialty professional organizations.
- May 2009: RSNA held an industry forum for radiology reporting vendors, attended by 20 vendor representatives.
- December 2009: Planned availability of a small RSNA library of structured reporting templates, freely available for downloading and use.
Reporting Template Guidelines
We have developed report template guidelines.
