Systems and methods to avoid untracked follow-up recommendations for patient treatment

A method for managing radiology reports and addendums including those containing recommendations for additional imaging (RAI), the method comprising:

• feeding one or more radiology reports and addendums through an integration engine into a secure database;
• identifying and capturing a RAI in radiology reports by a scalable processor architecture (SPARC) application engine;
• identifying and capturing a referrer in radiology reports by the SPARC application engine;
• securely transmitting the reports to a smart phone and web application for follow-up tracking;
• organizing of the reports into groups of those reports with RAI and those without RAI;
• identifying test results and specific RAI for the reports with RAI and closing of loop for reports without RAI;
• reporting to the referrer the one or more radiology reports and addendums organized into groups of those reports with RAI and those without RAI;
• displaying of options in the smart phone and web application for the referrer to either accept a recommendation, decline a recommendation, or defer a decision;
• transmitting of orders for follow-up testing to a radiologist through the application;
• and
• permitting the radiologist's office and the referrer's office to coordinate scheduling a follow-up exam and tracking a status of scheduling through exam completion.

A system for tracking follow-up recommendations for a patient, comprising:

• a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon;
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
• initiate a loop based on receiving an input from a first physician, the loop being opened based on the receipt of the input wherein the input includes test results, and wherein the first physician is capable of interpreting the test results;
• transmit the results to a second physician;
• receive interpretation of the results from the first physician;
• transmit the interpretation of the results to the second physician;
• scan the interpretation of the results for additional information, the additional information corresponding to a follow-up recommendation;
• display options in a smart phone and web application for the second physician to either accept a recommendation, decline a recommendation, or defer a decision and
• initiate the loop to be closed only if the additional information indicates an event corresponding to completing treatment plan of the patient.
