Comfort Talk and Economic Outcomes in MRI

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Claustrophobia, Complication of Diagnostic Procedure

In brief

Annually, an estimated 700,000 patients do not complete their scheduled MRI scans because of claustrophobia or inability to hold still. Training staffs working in MRI facilities to provide Comfort Talk® will enable patients to complete high quality imaging without medication, which will increase satisfaction and comfort while reducing sedation risks for patients, and increase efficiency and reduce loss of revenue for facilities. The effect of such training will be tested at 12 MRI sites in a randomized design. Outcome data will be collected for one year.
