Description
TTDuong Doan and colleagues measure spread in clinical practice across Vietnam hospitals in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Care spread harms outcomes and wastes resources, yet skill checks in Vietnam had been limited. The study used the EQIS fake e-patient platform with 216 birth and 71 cardiac staff across seven private hospitals, each completing three field cases scored for correct decisions.
Mean scores reached 73.5 for birth cases and 80.0 for cardiac cases, with test scores lowest and most spread, below 70 percent. Scores varied by staff type, education, department, patient volume, hospital, age and experience. Staff ordered 2.4 to 2.9 needless tests per case, costing about 330 to 495 million VND a month. Hospital leaders gain a fake tool for checking quality and curbing wasteful testing.
