Active Control

Group I: Intervention Group - Viral prescription pad + emphasisExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Physicians in this group will receive their usual MyPractice: Primary Care report from Ontario Health. This report will include antibiotic prescribing indicators as well as a link to the viral prescription pad. As part of the intervention, these physicians will also receive additional emphasis on the viral prescription pad by 1) encouraging it in the dissemination email of the MyPractice feedback report, and (2) mailing a paper version of the viral prescription pad with instructions on embedding the viral prescription pad into the recipient's EMR.
