Structured reporting: if, why, when, how—and at what expense? Results of a focus group meeting of radiology professionals from eight countries

Abstract

Structured reporting offers radiologists opportunities to improve their service to other stakeholders. • If radiologists can be convinced of the advantages of structured reporting, they may become early adopters. • The healthcare industry should propose technology allowing structured reporting. • Structured reporting will fail if it compromises accuracy, completeness, workflows or cost-benefit balance.
