TECHNICAL IMPRESSIONS;From: TERESA WINSTEAD (XRAYSONO1@ADELPHIA.NET)Sun Jul 13 10:21:16 2003
THIS IS A THOUGHT AND A QUESTION FOR ALL OF THOSE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED SONOGRAPHERS IN PRIVATE OB/GYN OFFICES AND ALSO IN RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENTS . I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SEMINAR ON( HOW TO) WRITE A TECHNICAL IMPRESSION ON REPORTS PRIOR TO THE RADIOLOGISTS SEEING THE EXAM. ALSO IN A PRIVATE DOCTORS OFFICE THESE REPORTS REMAINE ON FILE IN THE PATIENTS CHART. IN CASE OF A POTENTIAL LAW SUITE, WE AS SONOGRAPHERS ARE NOT TO WRITE A DIAGNOSIS OR ANY TYPE OF DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS, BECAUSE WE DO NOT HOLD A MD LICENSE AND THAT WOULD BE PRACTICING MEDICINE. SO WHEN YOU SEE FOR EXAMPLE A FIBROID AND YOU FEEL PRETTY SURE THAT IT IS A BEGIN FIBROID, LEI,,EX. YOU SHOULD WRITE AN ECHOGENIC FOCI, ACOUSTIC SHADOWING, CYSTIC DEGENERATION. ETC. THE TYPE OF ECHOGENICITY AND SO FORTH. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY REPORTS COME THROUGH WHERE SONOGRAPHERS WERE WRITING THEIR INTERPERATION AND THEY DO NOT KNOW THE DANGERS LURKING OUT SIDE WAITING FOR THEM(AS FAR AS LAW SUITS). PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN THE TECHNICAL IMPRESSIONS. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE SOMEONE AT A SEMINAR WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
