No results posted yet for this study

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).

Conditions

  • Cellulitis
  • Abscess
  • Drain Abscess
  • Impetigo
  • Skin Infection
  • Antibiotic Duration
  • Behavioral Economics

Interventions

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.
