Time Is Spine: A Novel Radiology Reporting System for Optimizing Spine Oncology Decision-Making and Reducing Time to Treatment
The implementation of a structured spine oncology macro combined with an automated notification system to a specialized spine oncology team significantly reduced the time to consultation and treatment in patients with spinal metastases. This change suggests that incorporating structured reporting tools with critical elements like SOIS, coupled with an efficient notification system, can enhance clinical workflow and expedite decision-making in oncology care.
