Equity in Diagnostic Imaging Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Headache

In brief

This study will 1) Develop two interventions: a) an audit-feedback email intervention that provides clinicians with data on CT scan ordering practices by patient race; and b) a clinical decision support (CDS) message in the electronic medical record headache template; and 2) Compare the effectiveness of these 2 interventions in eliminating a previously observed Black-White disparity in CT scanning rates to rule out subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
