No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will 1) Develop two interventions: a) an audit-feedback email intervention that provides clinicians with data on CT scan ordering practices by patient race; and b) a clinical decision support (CDS) message in the electronic medical record headache template; and 2) Compare the effectiveness of these 2 interventions in eliminating a previously observed Black-White disparity in CT scanning rates to rule out subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Audit-feedback

Clinicians will receive a short email educational message at regular intervals alerting them to the historic disparities in diagnostic workup for SAH in our department and reminding them of the increased risk of SAH among African-American patients.

OTHER

Clinical Decision Support

Clinicians receive an embedded real-time Best Practice Alert (BPA) of increased rates of SAH among African-Americans when they open the "headache" electronic charting template.
