Audit of Radiology Request Cards in a Tertiary Hospital in NorthWest Nigeria
Background: Radiology request cards are essential communication tools between physicians and radiation personnel. Clinical audit is part of quality assurance that guarantees patient care.
Objective: To assess the adequacy of patient data and clinical information filled in request cards sent to Radiology Department of our facility by referring clinicians.
Material and methods: Four hundred (400) radiology request cards were randomly selected from the records of the department and scrutinized for bio-data/clinical information.
Result: Completely filled request cards were 2/267 (ultrasound), 1/40 (computed tomography) and 2/93 (conventional x-ray).
Conclusion: Consistency in complete filliing of radiology request cards in our facility was lacking. The audit revealed actual practice, and the need for improvement.
