Study Summary
It is well documented that the proportion of inappropriate transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) is highest in the ambulatory environment, where it has been reported as high as 30%. Therefore, the potential to improve TTE utilization may be greatest in the outpatient setting. However, no study to date has evaluated whether an Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC)-based educational intervention can reduce inappropriate TTEs in this setting. The investigators therefore designed the first randomized control trial of an AUC-based educational and feedback intervention aimed at reducing inappropriate outpatient TTEs ordered by cardiology and internal medicine physicians in training.
