Effect of BPA on Anchor Antibiotic Continuity in the ED: Randomized Controlled Trial

United States420 participantsStarted 2020-10-20

Plain-language summary

The objective is to compare the timeliness of anchor antibiotic administration in the emergency department (ED) after initial dosing with and without a Best Practice Alert in Epic (BPA) implemented to remind physicians to re-order the antibiotic. We hypothesize that post-BPA implementation, physicians will have a higher rate of ordering subsequent doses of antibiotics on-time and with the correct dosages compared to pre-BPA implementation.
