Optimizing A1c and TSH Test Orders with Clinical Decision Support

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This initiative evaluates the impact of a randomized Our Practice Advisory (OPA) intervention on physician ordering behavior for Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) tests. The OPA alerts providers when these tests are ordered within 30 days of a prior result, encouraging them to reconsider unnecessary repeat testing. By focusing on optimizing resource use and aligning test orders with evidence-based guidelines, the study aims to improve patient outcomes and inform broader clinical decision support strategies. The results will help determine if the OPA should be implemented across all patients and potentially extended to other laboratory tests.
