rScriptor Reports

High Quality Structured reporting

 

Below are several sample reports generated by rScriptor.  Additional sample reports can be found here.  In each example you will see what the radiologist dictated followed by the final report created by rScriptor.  Also demonstated are several different report formatting options.  rScriptor generates this final report and pastes it directly back into the dictation or word processing window allowing the radiologist to perform final edits before signing the report.

 

The radiologist has full control over the negative (normal) statements placed in the report.  These statements and the anatomy included in each report can be changed by the radiologist.  These changes are applied to all future reports.

 

Note the use of rScriptor keywords "Impression" and "Impression new" in the dictated text.  These keywords allow the radiologist to dictate the Findings and Impression sections simultaneously.  Keyword "Critical" moves the text to the top of the Impression section and (with certain options enabled) makes that line of text italicized or bold as demonstrated in Sample Report #2.  It can also be used to activate a critical reporting procedure if you have such a procedure in place.

 

Report Formatting Options

Customize your Reports

 

The following is a partial list of available report formatting options that can be applied to any report.  They can be customized to meet the needs of an individual hospital, referring practice or referring physician.  The radiologist does not need to change their dictation to change the format of their report.  The format can be applied automatically by rScriptor depending on the pre-defined formatting requirements set for that facility or referring physician.

 

  • double space findings
  • double space impression
  • bold headings (Exam, Findings, Impression, etc.)
  • bold findings items (Liver, Spleen, etc.)
  • capitalize all letters in the Findings section headings (LIVER, etc.)
  • italicize critical text in the impression
  • bold critical text in the impression
  • force advanced rScriptor use
  • highlight dictated text in the report
  • put impression first in report
  • put incidental statement in impression
  • italics positive findings
  • provide minimal header information (for prelim reports only)
  • number impression
  • no blank lines in report
  • no blank lines in report except before FINDINGS: and IMPRESSION:
  • no normal findings displayed
  • no subheadings in findings section
  • keep text on same line as report heading
  • don't bullet impression, uses spaces
  • use exam title after Exam: in dictation rather than standard title
  • underline findings items (Liver, Spleen, etc.)
