Advancing Primary Care Access: Exploring the Impact of the Virtual Waiting Room on the Quadruple Aim.

Background: Community health centers grapple with high no-show rates, posing challenges to patient access and primary care provider (PCP) utilization.

Aim: To address these challenges, we implemented a virtual waiting room (VWR) program in April 2023 to enhance patient access and boost PCP utilization.

Setting: Academic community health center in a small urban city in Massachusetts.

Radiologists' Recommendations for Additional Imaging on Inpatient CT Studies: Do Referring Physicians Follow Them?

Objectives: Studies have found that recommendations for additional imaging (RAI) accompany up to 31% of index computed tomography (CT) scans. In this study we assessed the frequency with which recommendations are accepted by the referring physician and the impact of AI on case management.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of all index CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis performed on adult inpatients during a 1-month period at a tertiary medical center.
