A review of radiology reports was performed to demonstrate the rich source of complex information requiring clinical decision making. Radiology report data were descriptively analyzed, and findings were described as definite or indefinite, while recommendations were reported as required or optional.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The graphical decision aid involves 4 stages. The 1st 2 stages interpret report information and consider data obtained during the clinical encounter. The following 2 stages guide decisions by answering questions to ensure patient safety and\/or to confirm diagnosis and to address broader case management questions. The mean (SD) age of participants whose imaging reports were reviewed was 73.4 (7.0) years. Of 170 reports, common findings included degenerative disc disease (98%), soft tissue or vascular calcification (94%), bone demineralization (92%), and zygapophyseal joint degeneration (86%). Common indefinite findings were spinal stenosis (15%), compression fracture (12%), bony abnormality (12%), radiodensity (12%), and disc degeneration (10%). One hundred twenty-one recommendations suggested follow-up actions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Information within imaging reports requires identification and interpretation to inform complex clinical decisions. The graphical decision aid proposed in this article is designed to facilitate the development of decision-making skills by providing a structured and evidence-based information management process.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7899\/jce-17-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T14:15:17Z","timestamp":1513692917000},"page":"43-49","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A graphical clinical decision aid for managing imaging report information"],"prefix":"10.7899","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"James C.","family":"Boysen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zacariah K.","family":"Shannon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasmeen A.","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Breanne M.","family":"Wells","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert D.","family":"Vining","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"4650","reference":[{"key":"2020072214321576500_i1042-5055-32-1-43-b01","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.14.12949","article-title":"Communication in diagnostic radiology: meeting the challenges of complexity","volume":"203","author":"Larson","year":"2014","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"2020072214321576500_i1042-5055-32-1-43-b02","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1152\/advan.00132.2015","article-title":"Learning theories 101: application to everyday teaching and scholarship","volume":"40","author":"Kay","year":"2016","journal-title":"Adv Physiol Educ"},{"key":"2020072214321576500_i1042-5055-32-1-43-b03","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.3109\/0142159X.2014.889290","article-title":"Ten Cate O.
