The authors quite correctly identify that making prior imaging available to the current institution and formally summarizing their findings as one of the greatest opportunity to provide value to the health care system in order to avoid unnecessary repeat examinations. When patients are transferred between providers the referring physician commonly summarizes the case and its course in discharge notes. In radiology, however, the chore of collecting and compiling the performed radiology is usually done at the receiving hospital. It stands to reason that if the equivalent of radiological discharge notes instead are created at the department performing the examinations, the quality of the summaries must be improved, as well as the content of the transferred information, to the benefit of both clinicians and radiologists at the receiving hospital.
