Abstract:
An electronically based utility rating system and/or method measures the appropriateness of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) requests for medical imaging examinations. The so-called “imaging utility score” or simply, “u-score” may provide comparative data to help combat inappropriate medical imaging examinations, review resource utilization, and provide opportunities for medical education and research.
