Efficient and High Quality Care via EMR/EHR Interface to Inform Physicians of Test Cost in Real Time
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Goal – The goal of the proposed intervention is to improve efficiency and quality of care by equipping physicians to make effective resource management decisions when ordering diagnostic tests. The intervention harnesses the power of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to provide physicians with data on the costs of diagnostic tests at their fingertips, as they enter orders in real time. With effective access to this data, physicians will be equipped to reduce the number of inappropriate diagnostic tests, which will save the system money and save patients from undergoing unnecessary tests.
