Abstract:
Test non-completion decreases quality of care and accounts for many diagnosis-related malpractice claims. Currently, clinicians using Partners' electronic Longitudinal Medical Record (LMR) can track results but lack a mechanism for tracking non-completed tests. This pilot intervention will study an "order tracking" functionality that flags newly-ordered tests and will lead to generation of written patient reminders if tests are not completed within pre-specified timeframes. If test completion rates improve, we will pursue development of a dedicated LMR application.
