43.8% of ICANL Labs Still Have Report Deficiencies

The most recent study that evaluated nuclear lab’s compliance with the reporting standards was published in 2017.

It showed that 43.8% of ICANL-accredited labs still have report deficiencies, even after 3 accreditation cycles:

The researchers concluded that labs still struggle in the following areas:

• Quantifying (properly describing) perfusion defects
• Report timeliness
• Integrating stress and imaging reports
• Documenting report approval date

Accreditation Lapse = No Revenue

• Non-compliant reports are the biggest cause of accreditation lapses.
• If your accrediation lapses, you can’t get reimbursed.
• Not even retroactively when your accreditation is re-instated.

Our Guide & Checklist to IAC Nuclear/PET Report Compliance

1. Organizes the report requirements into meaningful categories
2. Explains the requirements clearly
3. Itemizes them into individual elements (with check-boxes)
4. States what the current ASNC-standardized terminology is for defects
5. Allows you to easily assess your compliance
6. Gives you room for notes regarding what you need to do to get compliant

Here’s a sample page from our Guide & Checklist:

The Report is All Your Referring Physicians See

• It irritates healthcare providers when they receive wordy, multiple page reports that don’t immediately make sense.
• Referring providers appreciate it when you make their jobs easier with clear, concise reports.

Many nuclear cardiology reports are sub-optimal

• Hard to understand, especially by non-cardiologists
• Use non-standard terminology
• Unnecessarily more than one page
• Multiple page reports can get separated from each other by referring MDs’ staff

The NucReporter creates reports that are

• Quick & Easy to Understand, even by non-cardiologists
• Error Free & Logically consistent- error checking ensures this
• Flawless in spelling, grammar & punctuation
• Very professional – enhancing your practice’s reputation
• 1 page:  (Pages can’t get separated)
• Tested in the real world for 7 years
