Clinical Trial Summary

Study the efficacy of a package of behavioral economics strategies (versus an education-only control condition) in altering clinician behavior regarding antibiotic prescription duration for skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI).

Description:

The investigators propose a prospective, cluster randomized trial of Epic order panels in the 14 Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) primary care clinics. Investigators have designed user-friendly Epic order panels from which providers may select guideline concordant antibiotics by simply typing in a diagnosis (cellulitis) or antibiotic name. These order panels are prepopulated with the default, short-course (guideline-concordant) antibiotic duration, saving clinicians several clicks within the electronic medical record (EMR). If a provider changes the prescribed duration from the one defaulted, a free text box will appear for them to write an acknowledgement reason (accountable justification). All 14 clinics will receive baseline education (control condition) about common infections and local and national guidelines for antibiotic choice and duration of treatment. Clinician prescribers will also be instructed about the presence of a basic order panel. The full functionality of the default [short/desired] duration order panel will only be released to intervention clinics. The order panels will be restricted in Epic to clinics randomized to the intervention. The investigators hypothesize that clinics with the intervention will have higher rates of short course antibiotics for SSTI versus control clinics.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Default Duration order Panel
The SSTI order panel will present itself when a provider types in either a drug name or diagnosis (cellulitis, impetigo, etc). Clinicians in control clinics will have access to a basic order panel which will include diagnosis and corresponding antibiotic of choice. Clinicians in intervention clinics will have access to order panels with the following additional components: prepopulated order duration fields that default to the recommended treatment duration.
