Purpose: This resident-driven quality improvement project was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of structured reporting to reduce revision rates for afterhours reports dictated by residents.
Methods: The first part of the study assessed baseline revision rates for head and neck CT angiography (CTA) examinations dictated by residents during afterhours call. A structured report was subsequently created based on templates on the RSNA informatics reporting website and critical findings that should be assessed for on all CTA examinations. The template was made available to residents through the speech recognition software for all head and neck CTA examinations for a duration of 2 months. Report revision rates were then compared with and without use of the structured template.
Results: The structured template was found to reduce revision rates by approximately 50% with 10/41 unstructured reports revised and 2/17 structured reports revised.
Conclusions: We believe that structured reporting can help reduce reporting errors, particularly in term of typographical errors, train residents to evaluate complex examinations in a systematic fashion, and assist them in recalling critical findings on these examinations.

Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Centers, Veterans Integrated Services Network 2, Bronx, New York.
Background: US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) eligibility policies now allow comprehensive mental and behavioral health care services to be provided to veterans who received an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge upon separation from service. Research has shown a disproportionate mental health burden and elevated rates of criminal-legal involvement among these veterans. Eligibility policy shifts may impact programs and services designed to support veterans with criminal-legal involvement, such as veterans treatment courts.

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Japanese Red Cross, Aichi Medical Center, Nagoya Daiichi Hospital, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Background: The objective of this study was to propose a novel classification for lateral polydactyly of the foot that integrates both visual appearance and radiographic findings and to delineate surgical techniques and their outcomes based on this classification.
Methods: This study enrolled 148 feet from 126 patients who underwent initial surgery at our hospital between January 2009 and July 2021. The new classification system was derived from visual appearance according to the Hirase classification and radiological bifurcation level (D: distal or middle phalanx, P: proximal phalanx, and M: metatarsal).
