CXR reporting evaluation
For IR, the median (IQR) report turnaround time (TAT) was zero hours (0–1) and was achieved for 71% of all reports (range 0–200 hours). Median SR TAT was 1 hour (IQR 0–2) with 99% of CXRs reported in less than 24 hours (range 0–504 hours). Overall, 8258 CXRs (95.1%) were reported by both radiographers and local radiologists, the remaining 424 CXRs had only a radiographer report. Discordant reports were identified by respiratory physicians in 1361 cases and all CXRs were reviewed by independent thoracic radiologists. Results of thoracic radiologists’ reviews of radiographers’ and radiologists, reports, in 1361 cases where these differedA positive difference in agreement rates in the table implies that the thoracic radiologist agreed more often with the radiographer’s report and a negative value indicates that the thoracic radiologist agreed more often with the radiologist’s report.
