  • Title: The sequential encounter evaluation. A tool for quality assurance.
    Author: Bates B.
    Journal: Adm Radiol; 1990 Jan; 9(1):42-3. PubMed ID: 10103773.
    Abstract:
    A technique for retrospective quality assurance studies is described. The radiologic imaging studies employed on a sampling of patients were retrospectively evaluated. Each encounter between the patient and the radiology department was reviewed and assessed to determine if the patient's workup was assisted by the encounter, unaffected by the encounter or adversely affected. A scoring system is described and criteria for appropriate utilization of radiologic studies suggested.
