Here's a link to a "sneak peek" of results from a 2016 Advisory Board survey, which was posted a few days before the survey closed. They're saying 23 minutes from completed scan to signed report for x-ray. The final results are behind a firewall, and this doesn't say how many respondents there were.

I don't know of ED plain film turn around time standards per se. However, the MIPS registries from ACR and SaferMD (for specific findings) both have TAT measures for CR exams.

To your knowledge, is there a national benchmark for TAT for x-rays for ED patients?
Thank you.
