NORWALK, Conn. – “Knowing what is valuable and what is not valuable. That is, not to test just to test,” said Dr. Jason R. Orlinick, commenting on the results of an assessment by a medical think tank that ranked Norwalk Hospital highest in Connecticut for avoiding overuse of tests and procedures.
“You’ve got to have a philosophy of putting the patient first,” said Orlinick, an internist and the hospital’s vice president of medical affairs. “What is necessary and what is not necessary.”
The Lown Institute’s study of more than 3,100 U.S. hospitals, called the Lown Institute Hospital Index, also ranked Norwalk Hospital 43rd in the nation for refraining from using what it identifies as low value services “that offer little to no clinical benefit to patients.”
