The impact of an adrenal incidentaloma algorithm on the evaluation of adrenal nodules.

Objective: To determine the impact of the use of an electronic medical record tool on the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was used to compare rates of hormone testing and follow up imaging for adrenal incidentalomas. Patients whose radiology reports contained an algorithm with recommendations, based on our 2013 clinical guideline for the workup of these nodules, were compared to those whose imaging reports did not contain the algorithm.
