Title Do nudge letters to GPs work? Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet NewsGP Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 21/05/26 Description Issuing targeted feedback to GPs who are the country’s highest pathology requestors was found to have a ‘substantial’ impact – despite not all doctors taking kindly to the approach....
Chair of the RACGP Expert Committee – Quality Care Professor Mark Morgan said this research demonstrates there is some benefit in providing targeted audits and feedback to reduce wasteful pathology testing, ‘but no discernible benefit of complicating the information with additional features’.
He added the RACGP’s First Do No Harm resources have information for GPs and patients about when to consider vitamin D testing and when not to.
‘Similarly, there is a resource aimed at reducing harms from inappropriate management of subclinical hypothyroidism,’ Professor Morgan said.Producer/Author Karen Burge URL https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/professional/do-nudge-letters-to-gps-work?utm_source=racgpnewsgpnewsletter&utm_campaign=newsgpedm&utm_medium=email Persons Mark Morgan
