The Critical Results dashboard in mPower QC helps you identify and review radiology reports that contain critical findings. It also highlights cases where a required notification statement might be missing, supporting timely follow‑up, patient safety, and quality improvement workflows.
What are Critical Results?
mPower QC uses natural language understanding (NLU) algorithms to identify critical results from the radiology report narrative. Clinical domain experts design these algorithms to detect clinically significant findings that might require urgent communication or documentation.

The Critical Results area includes two views:
