Study Finds Substantially Higher Imaging Use When Ordering Clinicians Interpret Their Own Imaging
A new study from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute found that the odds of imaging following an office visit were 188% higher when ordering clinician self-interpreted the imaging they ordered versus referring interpretation to a radiologist.
