Assessing context and readiness of emergency medicine physicians to promote evidence-based imaging referral guidelines: a mixed-methods study
Imaging overutilization in the ED, especially CR, is a problem. While physicians have the readiness, awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitude to change practice, factors such as workplace culture, medico-legal landscape, and interdisciplinary relationships impede such changes. The development of institutional guidelines coupled with targeted strategies and efforts involving key stakeholders is necessary to bridge the evidence-to-practice gap.
