“Many systems amount to nothing more than an arbitrary one case per user, per day, regardless of the number of diagnoses generated,” said Maynard. “That’s really nothing more than a “check the box”, we do peer review approach. Other systems have users comment on a historical exam while interpreting the current. Not only is that approach objectively invalid because the historical report is not anonymized, but more importantly, historical exams can be 6 or 12 months old. The patient is being rescanned for a reason, likely a worsening of symptoms. These solutions are behind the times, and they fall far short of what we’re capable of as a country.”
