Managing patient and physician demand for resources is crucial to the cost-effective delivery of high-quality patient care. This task is complicated by the expectations for better medical care that patients and physicians developed before prospective payment systems were instituted. The use of clinical decision support tools, which may combine appropriateness criteria with practice guidelines, can help manage demand rationally, control costs, and minimize concerns about overutilization and underutilization of healthcare services.
管理患者和医生对资源的需求对于以具有成本效益的方式提供高质量患者护理至关重要。在实行前瞻性支付系统之前，患者和医生对更好医疗护理的期望使这项任务变得复杂。使用临床决策支持工具，将适当性标准与实践指南相结合，有助于合理管理需求、控制成本，并最大限度地减少对医疗服务过度使用和使用不足的担忧。
