Methods

Effect was not fully sustained.

n = 1,000 patient

Results

Urinalysis-with-reflex-to-culture orders fell about 63 per 1,000 patient-days after the alert.

Urinalysis-with-reflex

-62.7/1,000

Urinalysis

41.4/1,000

“

Conclusion

Ordering appropriateness remained low, and antibiotics were often prescribed without documented symptoms, suggesting clinical decision support alone is insufficient.
