No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to assess whether a computer-assisted prescription allows a reduction of the overall number of inappropriate PAR in emergency departments.

Conditions

  • Plain Abdominal Radiography

Interventions

OTHER

Computer-assisted prescription

The intervention is based on a computer-assisted prescription: when a PAR will be ordered, an alert will arise and explain the recognized indications for this examination and ask a confirmation for the prescription. This is a non-blocking system: physicians will be able to prescribe PAR even if the PAR is not appropriate.
