The discrepancy rate between preliminary and official reports of emergency radiology studies: a performance indicator and quality improvement method.

CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated a system for follow-up of discrepancy in interpreting emergency radiology studies, and recorded the discrepancy rate, with further analysis based on different variables. In terms of quality assurance, a periodical analysis might help to reduce the number of discrepant reports by targeted intervention. PMID: 24833644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
