Abstract:
This paper deals with the issues involved in outsourcing radiology services. Based upon a field study of the work practices at the radiology department at Svendborg Hospital in Denmark, a novel solution (including a prototype of a computer supported reporting tool) that enables outsourcing of radiology services is introduced. The solution is based upon development of a classification scheme of possible radiology findings. Using predefined clinical findings for the radiology reports assure a high quality and enable automatic translation of radiology reports.
