Improving Quality & Equity of Emergency Care Decisions (IQED)

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Emergency Department

In brief

Recent work in emergency medicine has shown errors were more likely to occur at the end of shifts, as pressure exists to make a number of decisions simultaneously, and after what may be an already long series of cognitive challenges. Decision fatigue may also contribute to disparities by surfacing subconscious bias. The objective of the R21 pilot phase of Improving Quality \& Equity of Emergency Care Decisions (IQED) is to identify addressable gaps in quality and equity and use performance feedback as an intervention to improve performance on chest pain, CT imaging, and antibiotic prescribing. Performance feedback intervention will include feedback offline via email or text.
