How does your report turnaround time
compare with that of other facilities? This important
benchmarking study by the AHRA Statistical Resource
Committee provides reliable statistics on the length
of time it takes for a radiology report to reach the
patient's chart or the physician's office. Times are
reported both as averages and in percentiles, enabling
you to compare your figures against the top performers.
In addition, respondents with the quickest turnaround
times provide "success stories" on how they
achieved their results. The data is broken out in a
variety of ways: inpatient versus outpatient performance,
by exam volume and by bed size. Information on the
use of digital dictation, average transcription time,
distribution of reports and other important data is
also included.
