The Importance of E-Pulse and Teleradiology Applications on Forensic Reports

Abstract

Objective: One of the most important problems encountered during the preparation of the final forensic report is the deficiencies in the medical documents sent by the prosecutor's offices. This study aimed to determine whether e-pulse and teleradiology applications were used in the report preparation process of forensic cases and whose past medical documents had deficiencies, and whether these applications affected the result of the final forensic report. Methods: In our study, 4091 forensic reports issued by the Department of Forensic Medicine of Gülhane Training and Research Hospital between 01.08.2019 and 01.01.2023 were retrospectively reviewed, and 392 forensic reports were included in the study, which were determined to have data obtained from e-pulse and teleradiology applications during forensic report issuance. Results: Of the 392 patients 74.2% were male and the mean age was 36.1 years. In 125 of 392 cases, the medical data obtanied from e-pulse and teleradiology applications made a qualified contribution to change the content or result of the forensic report. In 89% of the cases for which a final forensic report was prepared with data obtained from e-pulse and teleradiology applications, only radiological images and reports were used, while in 4.8% of the cases only data obtained from epicrisis reports were used. Conclusions: According to our results, the use of e-pulse and teleradiology applications reduces the number of correspondences to be made in cases where medical documents are missing and saves time and resources.
