Letters sent to referring and associated doctors by a radiation oncologist after consultation and treatment for 128 consecutive patients were reviewed. Overall, only 60% of information items previously identified as 'essential' were included in these letters. An anonymous survey of the referring doctors and general practitioners (GPs) for these 128 patients was conducted. A total of 93 of 103 respondents considered letter content to be satisfactory or very good, nine considered letter content to be only average and only one respondent considered content to be unsatisfactory. The possible reasons for high levels of satisfaction regarding correspondence by referring doctors and GPs in spite of the relatively low level of information content are explored.
对一位放射肿瘤学家在为128例连续患者进行会诊和治疗后发给转诊医生及相关医生的信件进行了审查。总体而言，这些信件中仅包含了之前确定为“必需”的60%的信息项。对这128例患者的转诊医生和全科医生（GP）进行了一项匿名调查。103名受访者中有93人认为信件内容令人满意或非常好，9人认为信件内容只是一般，只有1名受访者认为内容不满意。尽管信息含量相对较低，但仍探讨了转诊医生和全科医生对信件满意度较高的可能原因。
