“…Others have ascribed the problem to a lack of education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.'. 8,30 A call has been made for the usc of modern educational methods4 with abandonment of traditional programmes which were described as "a teacher-centred, forcedmemorisation, innovation-inhibiting, infantilising style of medical education so long fostered by faculties", to encourage the development of more critical skills in clinical decision making.…”

Clinical investigation by means of special technical tests has increased in clinical practice during recent years. Pressures causing this increase are said to include: rapid technological change making many more tests available, clinical uncertainty, peer pressure, greater patient awareness, and concern for diagnostic completeness. Cost factors do not appear to have influenced test-ordering behaviour to any large extent, and those ordering investigations are frequently ignorant of the cost of the test which they are ordering, both to the patient and the community. The relation of clinical investigational activity to quality of outcome of patient care remains largely unestablished. Studies of the possible modification of test-ordering behaviour through educational and institutional policy pressures are reviewed. A rational approach to investigating the effectiveness of techniques designed to encourage the more economic and effective use of investigations is presented in brief on the basis of this review of previously published work.

“…Accounts of misuse and overuse of investigations have appeared in the American literature (e.g., Griner & Liptzin, 1971; Dixon & Laszlo, 1975); the British literature in this field is sparse. It has been alleged that one factor contributing to inappropriate use of investigations is inadequate education (McClenahan, 1970; Casscells, Schoenberger & Graboys, 1978); medical students were unfamiliar with the costs of diagnostic tests (Skipper, et al , 1975), and a recent survey (Catchlove, et al , 1978) showed that Australian interns (pre‐registration house officers) were ignorant about the current costs of diagnostic procedures. They were critical of both the quantity and quality of undergraduate teaching that they had received in this area.…”

Undergraduate education in the cost-effective use of laboratory and radiological investigations in clinical decision-making

This paper describes a strategy for helping students to learn about laboratory and radiological investigations in diagnosis and management, and to make decisions about the use of investigations, taking into account such features as safety, patient comfort and cost. Learning takes place through the use of a programmed text, in which students commit decisions to paper, and then receive feedback on the results of their decisions. Acceptability to students and teaching staff has been evaluated, and future developments of the strategy are outlined.
