Implementation of a multicomponent intervention including clinical decision support (CDS), e-course and feedback to improve general practitioners’ radiology referrals: a feasibility study and study protocol
The multicomponent VeRaVest intervention demonstrated feasibility and potential to reduce low-value imaging practices. Success hinged on embedding guidelines into workflows, fostering peer engagement and ensuring practical relevance. Future evaluations will focus on quantitative outcomes, including referral rates and quality. Findings suggest scalability to other healthcare settings and regions.
