Inpatient gastrointestinal (GI) issues account for 10 of the top 100 diagnoses billed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; these often lead to GI consultation. While these consults generate testing recommendations, studies have shown high failure to follow-up on tests ordered. Multiple available modalities of testing, as well as tests with inherent delay in results, make GI-recommended studies potentially more vulnerable to missed test follow-up. We sought to identify the volume of tests recommended by an academic GI inpatient consult service and the rates of successful result communication to the patients.
