We conducted a prospective chart review to determine the prevalence of and reasons for inappropriate test-ordering at a tertiary care hospital. Inappropriate orders accounted for 54% of all tests. The two primary aetiologies of inappropriate test-ordering were an alternative reason for diarrhoea (34%) and an asymptomatic patient (20%). These results highlight the need to focus diagnostic stewardship of testing on pre-analytical factors.
我们进行了一项前瞻性病历审查,以确定一家三级护理医院不适当检查医嘱的发生率及其原因。不适当的医嘱占所有检查的54%。不适当检查医嘱的两个主要病因是腹泻的替代原因(34%)和无症状患者(20%)。这些结果凸显了将检查的诊断管理重点放在分析前因素上的必要性。
