Summary

In an effort to implement Choosing Wisely guidelines and decrease patient harm, we will implement and evaluate a clinician audit-feedback and behavioral "nudge" initiative to reduce low-value antibiotics for URIs. Using a quasi-experiment (pre-post) design, antibiotic prescriptions for URI at LAC+USC Urgent Care Center (intervention site) vs. Olive View-UCLA Urgent Care Center (control site) will used to test the effects of behavioral "nudge" on antibiotic prescribing.
