When ACEP Now polled emergency physicians last month to ask how often they read their own patients’ X-rays, nearly 80 percent said they did so either “most of the time” or “always.” From a total of 257 votes cast online, 116 of respondents, or 45 percent, confirmed that they read their X-rays most of the time and 87 emergency physicians, or 34 percent, said they always do. Among the remaining 20 percent of voters, 41 of them, or 16 percent, said they “sometimes” review X-rays, and less than five percent said they “rarely” or “never” read their own patients’ X-rays.
