Study Examines Doctors' Adherence to iRefer Referral Guidelines
Original: Evaluating Adherence to iRefer Guidelines and Barriers to Implementation Among Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in a Model 3 Hospital: A Mixed-Methods Study
A mixed-methods study published in Cureus has evaluated how well non-consultant hospital doctors at a Model 3 hospital adhere to the iRefer guidelines for imaging referrals, and what barriers prevent fuller implementation. The findings point to practical obstacles junior doctors face when ordering scans, a topic of ongoing interest to clinicians and health service managers working to reduce unnecessary imaging.
Why now: Fresh research on referral behaviour and imaging appropriateness is relevant to efforts to cut unnecessary radiology requests.
