All:
Wanted to get some advise on contrast protocol if the contrast isn't on the order. Can our physician without notifying the treating physician go by our protocol based on the body/exam ordered? Do we have to call the referring physician to update this each time it is missing or not listed?
And also if the wrong body part was ordered or wrong side was ordered can we without notifying the referring physician to change it to a left for example when they stated right hand?
Any advise would be great, thank you!
