Clinicians get the critical imaging results late!!


"Referring clinicians failed to electronically acknowledge over one-third of abnormal imaging results in an outpatient setting, even when a computerized test result notification system designed to alert referring physicians was used, according to a paper from Texas. Providers were unaware of critical imaging results in 4% of cases as long as four weeks after reporting."
