DERBY teaching HOSPITALs NHS Foundation trust RADIATION AND COST AWARENESS PROJECT

Does feedback on cost or radiation exposure for common diagnostic tests modify demand in a busy teaching hospital?

This project sets out to answer that question through two separate studies: one adds costs to the reports of three common blood tests and the other gives an estimate of the probability of harm through radiation to clinicians on reports from all CT scans. 

Overview

Dr Nigel Sturrock explains how this project came about and what it aims to achieve.

How is it done?

Adding the cost and harm messages to test results was not complicated or expensive, as Mark Norwood outlines.

A doctor's viewpoint

Dr Rob Skelly shares his experience of receiving extra information on reports of CT scans and blood tests.
