Nudging Provider Adoption of Clinical Decision Support: Implementation of an EHR-Agnostic Pulmonary Embolism Risk Prediction Tool (NCT07249385)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the nudge implementation strategy (CDS tool + Nudge) on adoption of guideline-concordant CT ordering for pulmonary embolism (PE) in 10 EDs. The study will be a 33-month, rigorous, pragmatic, cluster-randomized, stepped wedge trial across 3 health systems and 10 EDs after collecting pre-implementation baseline data. The aim is to to demonstrate technological feasibility as well as examine efficacy of the nudges on adoption. The secondary objective is to decrease CT-ordering when it is not indicated.
