Request for investigations at the correct time as well as provide the correct intervention Prevention is better than cure. Follow up your investigations (don't just request and repeat) Don't order a a full panel of bloods if you want something specific eg Hb instead of FBC Use evidence based clinical decision making guidelines and appropriate use criteria for tests For instance, do you really need that antibiotic if you know that it won't work? The duration you prescribe medication for etc. Follow admission criteria or protocols for particular conditions - this will avoid unnecessary admissions. Do not order blood products for transfusion after hours if it is not necessary Consultant ward rounds as much as possible to get better understanding of the case and to shorten patient stay by correctly managing the patient. Train clinics and other peripheral institutions correct management of simple cases and referral criteria to higher care. Appropriate waste disposal Avoid polypharmacy and unnecessary medications, think of cases where patients are given PPIs for "ulcers". Viewing of laboratory results online or viewing imaging studies on the system instead of printing unnecessarily. However, this refers mainly to "reprinting" since some of these investigations need to be in the patient's file. However, I am sure you get the idea.
