Given the increasing volume of radiological exams, the decreasing frequency of direct communication with the referring provider, and the distribution of patient data over many clinical systems, radiologists often do not have adequate clinical information at the time of interpretation. We have performed a survey of radiologists to determine the need and actual utilization of patient data at the time of image interpretation. Our findings demonstrate that most radiologists want more clinical information when interpreting images and that this information would impact their report, but they are discouraged by the time it takes to access this information. In addition, current mechanisms for monitoring necessary patient follow-up are inadequate.
鉴于放射学检查数量不断增加，与转诊医生直接沟通的频率降低，以及患者数据在多个临床系统中的分布，放射科医生在解读时往往没有足够的临床信息。我们对放射科医生进行了一项调查，以确定在图像解读时对患者数据的需求和实际利用情况。我们的研究结果表明，大多数放射科医生在解读图像时希望获得更多临床信息，并且这些信息会影响他们的报告，但获取这些信息所需的时间让他们望而却步。此外，目前用于监测必要的患者随访的机制并不完善。
