ACC/AHA/SCAI 2014 Health Policy Statement on Structured Reporting for the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory

“Really it's the people and the processes that have to change for structured reporting to be successful. That's what we put together and crafted as a health policy statement.”

“In fact, this increases the accuracy of both the procedure log and the physician's procedure report. [Post-procedure], the system will recompile the data [which is] 90% of what the physician needs to create the physician's report…The sanctity of the data remains whole.”

“Historically, cath reports were kind of wordy, and some of the important data got lost in the text.”
