Non-communication of Test Results
Although health care made great progress, one major problem that still remains the inadequate communication between health care providers and their patients. Here’s something you’ve probably never hear of…. almost half of all medical errors made by physicians in the United States are caused by non communication of test results by the physicians. The non-communication of test results can have devastating consequences.
On average, every week, a primary care physician often receives hundreds of lab reports, radiology reports, pathology reports, and other diagnostic test results concerning patients under his/her care.
The physician has to inform the results to the patient quickly and correctly to enable the patient to undergo required treatment. Non-communication of the test results promptly and rightly can cause delays in critical treatment. Delay in treatment will significantly reduce the chances of a favorable outcome. Non-communication or delay in communication of test can result in the ailment becoming more difficult to treat or cure, especially in cases of cancer and other conditions which develop over time.
