The investigators hypothesize that a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) designed with "Patient-Specific" reminders yields superior performance than that with "Non-patient-specific" reminders in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy.
We hypothesize that a clinical decision support system (CDSS) designed with "Patient-specific" reminders yields superior performance than that with "Non-patient-specific" reminders in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy.
A 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be performed by cluster randomization using physicians as the unit of allocation. Physicians in 3 university medical centers will be randomly assigned into 1) patient-specific arm with Anti Contrast-Induced-Nephropathy(Anti-CIN) reminder, 2) non-patient-specific reminder arm, and 3) the control arm without any reminders, respectively.
The patient-specific alert, Anti-CIN system, is designed as a real-time CDSS implementation on CPOE for monitoring physician's contrast-enhanced CT and IVP orders. Computerized pop-up reminders provide the patient-specific encounters with optimal decision options when patients are at a high CIN risk or patients with unknown risk factors are encountered. Non-patient-specific reminders always pop up no matter whether the patient is at a high risk or not.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patient-specific reminder | Experimental | Intervention: Patient-specific computerized reminder. The physicians assigned to this arm will use the patient-specific CDSS on CPOE. The patient-specific reminder is designed as a real-time CDSS implemented on CPOE to monitor physician's contrast-enhanced image study orders. Computerized pop-up reminders provide the patient-specific CIN risk profile and optimal decision options which are generated when patients with high risk or with unknown risk of CIN are encountered. |
|
| Non-patient-specific reminder | Active Comparator | Intervention: Non-patient-specific Computerized reminder. The physicians assigned to this arm will use the Non-patient-specific reminders through CPOE. Non-patient-specific reminders always pops up to remind physicians to check their patient's CIN risk no matter what CIN risk is. |
|
| Control Arm | No Intervention | The physicians assigned to this arm will not use and any computerized reminder. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patient-specific computerized reminder | Other | The intervention targets are physicians,not patients. This CDSS alerts physicians only when the patient with high risk of contrast-induced-nephropathy(CIN) is encountered. On the contrast, the CDSS will not alert when the patient without CIN risk is encountered. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The percentage of contrast-enhanced imaging(CEI) orders with high CIN risk | The number of CEI ordered for patients at high CIN risk, divided by the total number of CEI orders. [CEI]: contrast-enhanced image studies,such as CT or IVU. [CIN]: contrast-induced nephropathy | Physicains who participated in this trial will be followed for an expected average of 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The order elimination rate of high CIN risk orders attributed to the computerized reminder | The number of CEI orders with high CIN risk cancelled by the physician attributed to our computerized reminder, divided by the total number of CEI orders with high CIN risk. | Physicains who participated in this trial will be followed for an expected average of 12 months |
