Interventions

  • Clinical decision support tool — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention involves two strategies. The first strategy is education where at baseline participants will complete the one-hour online Smiles for Life oral health educational module on acute dental problems, which includes NTDC management. This module can be completed in multiple sessions. Providers will be asked to share the certificate of completion that is provided to them via the website by passing a post knowledge test. The second strategy is CDST. Providers who completed NTDC module certificate will pilot test the CDST which is an algorithm that walks the ED provider thru patient's signs and symptoms and identifies guideline-recommended treatments available in the ED.

Study Details

The overall objective of this proposal is to understand the barriers and facilitators to non-traumatic dental condition (NTDC) management in the emergency department (ED) through quantitative and qualitative methods. The first aim will determine the national variation in NTDC prescribing in the ED and subsequent ED/urgent care revisits and hospitalizations within 30-days of an index ED visit. Using national electronic health records and integrated claims datasets and a random effects model, we will identify factors associated with prescribing for NTDC and variation at the patient, provider, hospital and state levels. The second aim identifies ED providers' perceived barriers and facilitators to the management of NTDC in the ED. Using individual in depth interviews, ED providers (physicians, advanced practice providers) will identify the facilitators and barriers to management and prescribing for NTDC in the ED.
