- W4308659124 abstract "Introduction A service improvement project involving the vetting and protocoling of Computed Tomography (CT) scan requests by qualified CT radiographers was initiated in 2018. Aim This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of how a radiographer-led initiative aims to ensure that the CT scan requests received by the Radiology department are clinically appropriate, which in turn will reduce interruptions to the interpretation and reporting of imaging examinations by radiologists, who might otherwise be required to attend to clinically inappropriate and wrongly protocolled CT scan requests. Method Outpatient CT scan requests received from July to October 2021 were vetted and protocolled by a qualified CT-trained radiographer for parameters which included the appropriateness of the clinical indication, adequacy of patient preparation for the scan, as well as the suitability of the requested examination protocol pertaining to the need for contrast media, multiple contrast-enhanced imaging phases, and the appropriateness of the scan range. Results Poor patient preparation and insufficient or inaccurate clinical indications were the most common findings during the vetting process (71%). Out of the 64 CT scan requests with protocol errors, 77% were attributed to contrast media type errors. The odds of incorrect CT scan requests increased with the requesting clinician’s rank, while there was no such significant correlation with the clinical specialty of the requesting clinician or the CT scan type. Conclusion The meticulous vetting of imaging requests helps to ensure that limited imaging hardware resources are allocated to more clinically appropriate cases, correct protocols are applied to requested imaging scans, and that patients undergoing imaging are adequately prepared, thereby enhancing overall patient care. Implications for practice Vetting of imaging requests by radiographers, who are capable to make appropriate clinical decisions related to their enhanced level of practice ensures patient safety and optimisation of Radiology resources." @default.
