Summary

The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that the Peer Comparison intervention in the Use of Behavioral Economics to Improve Treatment of Acute Respiratory Infections (BEARI) trial (Meeker et al. 2016) promoting antibiotic stewardship did not adversely impact physician job satisfaction as measured in the study exit survey at trial completion. Detrimental impacts on job satisfaction is a phenomenon that was observed in a randomized controlled trial using a Peer Comparison intervention with different characteristics from the BEARI trial. (Reiff et al. 2022) The BEARI trial sample size, intraclass correlation, and measurement of job satisfaction are comparable to Reiff et al. 2022.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Tract Infections

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Peer Comparison

Peer comparison was an email-based intervention. Clinicians were ranked from highest to lowest inappropriate prescribing rate within each region using EHR data. Clinicians with the lowest inappropriate prescribing rates (the top-performing decile) were told via monthly email they were "Top Performers". The remaining clinicians were told that they were "Not a Top Performer" in an email that included the number and proportion of antibiotic prescriptions they wrote for antibiotic-inappropriate acute respiratory tract infections, compared with the proportion written by top performers.
