Can a Teaching Intervention Reduce Interobserver Variability in LVEF Assessment: A Quality Control Exercise in the Echocardiography Lab

Conclusions In a large echocardiography laboratory with a wide range of training levels and experience, a simple, formalized teaching intervention can successfully diminish IOV of LVEF assessment. This intervention provides not only discrete quality measures, but also serves as a practical tool to document and improve quality of reporting, potentially reducing clinical inefficiencies and repeat testing.
