About this study

Official title: Evaluating Smart Forms and Quality Dashboards in an EHR: Effectiveness of the Acute Respiratory Infection Smart Form

To evaluate the effectiveness of the Acute Respiratory Infection Smart Form

Read the detailed description

Specific Aim 1: To design and implement an integrated documentation-based clinical decision support and physician feedback system, provided in an electronic health record (EHR), to improve the management of patients with acute medical conditions.

Hypothesis 1: A documentation-based clinical decision support tool (CDSS) "smart form" physician feedback system, can be designed and implemented to facilitate documentation and physician order-entry, provide individualized, evidence-based recommendations for the management of patients acute respiratory infections (ARIs), and are usable by primary care physicians.

Specific Aim 2: To determine the effectiveness of documentation-based CDSS and physician feedback on documentation and the clinical management of patients respiratory tract infections.

Hypothesis 2A: A documentation-based CDSS "smart form" will increase the documentation of important clinical data in patients with ARI when compared to usual practice.

Hypothesis 2B: A documentation-based CDSS "smart form" will increase adherence with guidelines for the management of patients with ARI when compared to usual practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Smart Form in people with Respiratory Tract Infections, run by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Antibiotic prescribing rates (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00235040, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2012.
