A proof of concept for epidemiological research using structured reporting with pulmonary embolism as a use case.

CONCLUSION: Structured reporting can make data obtained from clinical routine more accessible. Designing practical workflows is feasible using freely available tools and allows for the calculation of epidemiological statistics on a near real-time basis. Therefore, radiologists should push for the implementation of structured reporting in clinical routine. Advances in knowledge: Theoretical benefits of structured reporting have long been discussed, but practical implementation demonstrating those benefits has been lacking. Here we present a first experience providing proof that structured reporting will make data from clinical routine more accessible. PMID: 29745767 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
