Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Before

Standard of care for informatic prescription.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

After

Computer-assisted prescription for radiological procedure

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Computer-assisted prescription

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention is based on a computer-assisted prescription: when a PAR will be ordered, an alert will arise and explain the recognized indications for this examination and ask a confirmation for the prescription. This is a non-blocking system: physicians will be able to prescribe PAR even if the PAR is not appropriate.
