What Patient Factors Are Associated With Clinician Likelihood to Order a Test in a Setting of Low Pretest Odds of Important Pathophysiology?
Greater awareness and tools such as debiasing checklists (which provide a step-by-step approach of evaluating medical decisions) may help clinicians to limit unhelpful test use. Future studies are needed to further evaluate factors influencing surgeons to order additional testing, particularly in in-person care settings.
