Leveraging Electronic Health Record Tools to Improve the Evidence-Based Treatment of Children Hospitalized With Bronchiolitis
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this experimental study is to learn whether different types of best practice advisories (BPAs) that direct clinicians to reference clinical guidelines embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) increase the delivery of evidence-based care in children presenting to the hospital with bronchiolitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do BPAs improve clinicians' delivery of guideline-concordant care in bronchiolitis? * Do interruptive BPAs improve guideline-concordant care of bronchiolitis more than non-interruptive BPAs? Researchers will compare the treatment and outcomes of patients whose clinicians did not receive a BPA, to those whose clinicians received a non-interruptive BPA, to those whose clinicians received an interruptive BPA. Patients will continue to receive standard hospital care for bronchiolitis. Clinicians will: * retain access to an EHR-embedded clinical guideline for bronchiolitis care * be exposed to either no BPA, a non-interruptive BPA, or an interruptive BPA promoting the EHR-embedded clinical guideline (randomized per patient encounter)
