This 158-page report summarises the literature on safety and quality in diagnostic imaging. It describes the national and international standards that underpin diagnostic imaging, as well as strategies to improve patient safety, quality and unwarranted variation in diagnostic imaging. It will inform a review of the Diagnostic Imaging Accreditation Scheme Standards.
Main sections:
- Introduction
- Methods
- Findings
- What are the main patient safety and quality care risks relevant to diagnostic imaging?
- What interventions can minimise patient safety and quality risks relevant to diagnostic imaging? What is the evidence for the effectiveness of these interventions?
- What areas of diagnostic imaging have unwarranted variation?
- What improvements can address unwarranted variation?
- What standards operate nationally and internationally for diagnostic imaging and what do the standards address?
- Gaps in the evidence
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Appendices
- References
