Enhancing Radiology Request Form Completeness With a Standardized Tool and Targeted Education: A Two-Cycle Clinical Audit

The implementation of a standardized RRF and focused educational intervention substantially improved documentation quality and compliance with RCR standards. These findings demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of low-cost interventions in optimizing communication, enhancing diagnostic safety, and reducing unnecessary imaging. Continued monitoring, reinforcement of contact information fields, and periodic re-audits are recommended to sustain improvements.

Abstract

The implementation of a standardized RRF and focused educational intervention substantially improved documentation quality and compliance with RCR standards. These findings demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of low-cost interventions in optimizing communication, enhancing diagnostic safety, and reducing unnecessary imaging. Continued monitoring, reinforcement of contact information fields, and periodic re-audits are recommended to sustain improvements.
