Study 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.
Primary Outcome
Changes in inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions rates per visit before and after implementation of intervention at both sites
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Nudge using Behavioral Economic Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Standard Practices to Reduce Health System Antibiotic Prescription
