Abstract

Medical consulting reports are assessed for quality with respect to a plurality of predetermined criteria. Each criterion comprises a plurality of parameters and a scoring scale relating the parameters to the report. A QA reviewer assesses the report with respect to the criteria and generates a numeric score for each criterion. The numeric scores are aggregated and statistically analyzed. In some embodiments, individual report numeric scores are not reported. Report quality data is reported in a variety of formats. Representative assessment criteria include the format of the report; the relevance of the contents of the report to the questions posed; the degree to which conclusions or opinions are supported by objective tests and observations; and the appropriate and consistent use of appropriate medico-legal terminology. The assessment is useful for controlling the overall quality of a group medical consulting reports, such as those generated for a particular customer.
