Clinical audit of the completion of CT scan request forms.

CONCLUSION: There is still room for improvement in the completion of CT scan requests at UHSM. The poor completion of the forms and use of poor abbreviations can have a detrimental effect on the reporting and therefore care of the patient. It is important that this problem is tackled appropriately. Advances in Knowledge: There is scope for improvement in the completion of CT request forms. This audit highlights this issue and provides the basis for implementing larger studies looking at completion of radiological request forms. PMID: 29745751 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
