Abstract
Diagnostic and therapeutic process and outcome were assessed by chart review of 75 consecutive patients referred for chest consultation. Results show that clinical outcome is related in part to diagnostic and therapeutic processes. However, a number of factors not necessarily related to these processes can reduce the number of cases positively affected.Keywords
