Rational use of investigations in medicine... NICE publishes new guidance which suggests
- tests from primary care should be communicated to secondary/tertiary centres to avoid unnecessary repeats, and
- excessive testing can cause anxiety and should be avoided - lean care systems
Reminds me of Mortimer (2010) The sustainable physician... Sustainable care is quality care!
