Authors' recommendations:
There is limited information available to determine optimal methods to increase uptake and utilization of diagnostic imaging decision support tools. In one randomized trial, an education program combined with a mandatory real-time reminder of the decision rule achieved over 80% compliance with the recommended test ordering guidelines. One observational study reported that physicians’ use of an order entry and decision support system was increased by placing restrictions on non-clinical staff’s access to enter imaging orders.
