Evaluation of Variability in Clinical Assessments.

Variability in clinical assessments is a long-standing issue affecting the efficiency of care delivery, cost, and resource utilization. Despite its importance, so far, only limited research has been conducted to identify potential causes and contributory factors of variation in clinical assessments. This study, therefore, aims to provide background on variation in clinical assessments and evaluates why they occur. Moreover, potential solutions and challenges associated with variations are discussed. The results suggest that creating effective standardized systems that identify and mitigate root causes of variations may optimize resource utilization and service delivery without compromising patient care.
