041001 - Yesterday at UCSF, Doctor Rugo asked for Kaiser's radiology report,
041002 - shown in the record on 090616 1245. ref SDS 27 356G, for Millie's CT
041003 - test on 090612. ref SDS 25 02D6 This unexpected, because UCSF had
041004 - requested Kaiser's scan files to make an independent review of
041005 - Millie's CT test on 090612, and the scan files were hand-delivered to
041006 - UCSF immediately after the test reported on 090612 1439. ref SDS 26

041402 -
041403 - Explained problems during meeting at UCSF yesterday, on 090616,
041404 - because Kaiser did not have time to submit the report for the CT test
041405 - on 090612 in time for the meeting on 090616 1245. ref SDS 27 JH48
041407 - ..
041408 - Al said the report for the CT test on 090612 is ready and can be

041413 - Al apologized for delay sending the report to UCSF. He agreed with
041414 - Doctor Rugo's comment that radiology reports are required to be
041415 - completed within 24 hours from the date of the test. ref SDS 27 JH48

041802 -
041803 - Received a copy from the Customer Counter for Radiology in the
041804 - basement.
041806 - ..
041807 - Review shows Kaiser made the same mistake again issuing multiple,
041808 - separate, and overlapping reports for the neck and everything below
041809 - the neck, which conflicts with Doctor Davidon's letter on 090409
041810 - saying Kaiser policy requires consolidated reporting to prevent
041811 - mistakes, ref SDS 8 XZ6U, and was implemented for Millie's CT test on
041812 - 090413, shown by the report received on 090415 1642. ref SDS 11 RU6R
041813 -

042201 - Al Hutchins met in the hallway outside the Customer lobby for the
042202 - Radiology Department.
042204 - ..
042205 - Al looked at the report prepared by his department for Millie's CT
042206 - test on 090612. He concurred this was issued in multiple reports, and
042207 - agreed this conflicted with Kaiser's policy to consolidate findings
042208 - into a single report for each CT test, and for the purpose of avoiding
042209 - medical mistakes caused by confusion from overlapping scope and
042210 - conflicting language, noted in the letter to Doctor Davidson on
042211 - 090409. ref SDS 9 4R4K
042213 - ..
042214 - Al threw up his hands in frustration. He apoligized for mistakes on
042215 - the recent CT test. He said there are changes in the Department which
042216 - are still being worked out, and so uneven performance occurs
042217 - sometimes.
