Automated peer-review QA software beats paper
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ12-04 | Room S402ABTo maintain their institutional credentials, U.S. imaging facilities must set up a peer-review quality assurance program for radiologists to grade each other's work. Using paper and pencil to manage this process can be a headache, and that's why a Rhode Island radiology practice has implemented an automated software application for managing peer-review overreads.

Factors affecting error rate in speech recognition dictation
By Cynthia E. Keen
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSG10-01 | Room S402ABUse of speech recognition software has greatly expedited radiology report turnaround time and has transformed the way that reports are authored, but at what cost? The subject of errors made using this medium is seldom discussed, so this ambitious study of almost 18,000 radiology reports is refreshing in its size and candor.

DEXA talks: Automating transfer of reports to structured dictation systems
By Cynthia E. Keen
Monday, November 30 | 12:15 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-IN2118-D03 | Lakeside Learning CenterAs a community hospital and expanding healthcare enterprise, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose was an outstanding innovator, role model, and successful adopter in the early stages of the digital revolution of radiology and informatics. So it's no surprise that the hospital's diagnostic imaging department automated the process of transferring reports from a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanner into its RIS using a speech recognition structured dictation system.

Building barriers against orders for low-utility examinations
By Cynthia E. Keen
Sunday, November 29 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA11-03 | Room S403AFrom a diagnostic imaging perspective, computerized order entry systems have the potential to monitor the number and types of procedures that physicians order, to alert physicians to the existence of prior patient exams, and to enforce or enlighten physicians to practice evidence-based medicine. Radiologists at Massachusetts General Hospital have elected the enlightenment approach -- with barriers established for nonconformance.
