Summary

This study compares the effectiveness of electronic health record (EHR)-based tools to support the management of pediatric obesity in primary care. All clinicians will receive an interruptive "pop-up" alert We will examine the impact -- the added value versus unintended consequences -- of the interruptive alert on the quality of obesity management in pediatric primary care.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Obesity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Interruptive Clinical Decision Support

An interruptive, "soft-stop" alert will pop up when a pediatric primary care provider open a child's electronic health record (i.e., a new window in the forefront of the screen interrupting workflow and requiring the clinician to take an action) alerting them that the child meets criteria for obesity based on their age/sex-specific BMI percentile. The pop-up alert includes: * One-click addition of elevated BMI to problem list * Reminder to utilize Suggested PowerPlan * One-click access to a patient handout on evidence-based behavior change goals (screen time, sugary drinks, physical activity, sleep) and link to additional handouts and resources * Tables displaying trends in growth measures, blood pressure and relevant laboratory tests * Links to existing, evidence-based childhood obesity screening and management guidelines
