Diagnostic testing as a cost factor in teaching hospitals.
The interpretation of laboratory tests by resident physicians is an integral part of the process of medical education. Therefore, the resident's awareness of the validity, reliability, and usefulness of laboratory tests and their alternatives, coupled with an analytical dialog between the supervising attending physician and the resident can help limit the ordering of diagnostic tests to what is logically and scientifically appropriate. Such a dialog may partially address the issue of teaching cost-effectiveness within the graduate medical education curriculum.
Costs and Cost Analysis↗
Diagnostic testing as a cost factor in teaching institutions.
Clinical data are analyzed to examine the degree of reliance residents in training place on diagnostic tests and procedures in patient management and the extent of educational costs incurred for patient care in a teaching hospital. To help limit the ordering of diagnostic tests, resident trainees need to be kept aware of the validity, reliability, and diagnostic utility of specific laboratory tests in certain clinical situations.
