Primary Care Clinician Commitments to Choosing Wisely®

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Health Services Misuse, Physician's Practice Patterns, Guideline Adherence, Unnecessary Procedures, Health Care Costs

In brief

This pragmatic trial examines the uptake and effects of primary care clinician commitments to follow 3 Choosing Wisely® recommendations. The investigators hypothesize that pre-encounter invitations to clinicians to commit to the recommendations will decrease ordering of: (1) imaging tests for low back pain, (2) antibiotics for acute sinusitis, and (3) imaging tests for headaches. The study is a mixed-methods, stepped wedge cluster randomized trial in which the intervention will be sequentially introduced to 6 clinics in southeastern Michigan in a randomly assigned order.
