In 2005, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) created and implemented a program that scores the appropriateness of a CT scan every time a doctor orders one and compares its worth to that of other imaging techniques given the patient's symptoms. As a result, the quarterly growth rate in MGH's use of CT scans has dropped from 3% to 0.25%.
