What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests whether targeted emails with specific feedback can increase urologists' use of a dashboard that tracks a quality measure related to stent use in kidney procedures. The goal is to determine if this "precision feedback" (known as Precision Feedback Push) engages doctors more effectively than general feedback. The study includes different groups, each receiving feedback and using the dashboard for varying time frames. Urologists who frequently perform certain kidney procedures may be well-suited for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research that could improve medical practices.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether participants must stop taking their current medications.

What prior data suggests that this method is safe for improving provider engagement?

Research has shown that precision feedback, which provides personalized information to motivate individuals, is a new method. However, solid evidence about its safety remains limited because it primarily involves sending specific information rather than administering physical treatment. Consequently, the risks are much lower compared to traditional medical treatments. The trial's "Not Applicable" label for clinical phases indicates a focus on behavior change rather than testing a new drug or device. Therefore, overall safety concerns are low, and it is well-tolerated, as it involves no direct physical or medical risks to participants.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the Precision Feedback Push because it aims to enhance patient engagement through personalized feedback, which is a departure from traditional approaches that often use a one-size-fits-all method. This technique provides tailored feedback based on individual patient data, potentially leading to better adherence and outcomes. By customizing the engagement process, it addresses the unique needs and behaviors of each patient, offering a more dynamic and responsive way to support health management. This could revolutionize how we think about patient interaction and adherence, making care more effective and personalized.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?

Research has shown that push notifications can greatly increase app usage. One study found that 60% of users interacted more with apps after receiving notifications. Timely, personalized messages can lead to more regular use. In schools and workplaces, precise feedback has boosted engagement by offering useful insights and actions. This trial will test the effectiveness of Precision Feedback Push, where participants receive dashboards with varying durations of precision feedback. These findings support the idea that specific, targeted feedback can effectively enhance both the frequency and depth of platform engagement.678910

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for healthcare providers who use a dashboard to track quality measures, specifically stent omission after pre-stented ureteroscopy. The study aims to see if tailored feedback improves their engagement with the dashboard.

Inclusion Criteria

Urologists participating in MUSIC that were in the top one hundred individuals in annual case volume from 2023 for 'pre-stented ureteroscopy', the case for which the dashboard contents are most relevant.

Exclusion Criteria

Published Research Related to This Trial

Patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) feedback interventions in oncology showed a positive impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL) and patient-healthcare provider communication, with a moderate effect size based on a meta-analysis of 29 studies involving 7071 cancer patients.
The intervention also demonstrated a significant improvement in 1-year overall survival rates, suggesting that providing feedback can enhance care processes and outcomes for cancer patients, although the findings are limited by a high risk of bias in the studies reviewed.

The study aims to implement a precision audit and feedback (A&F) system in anesthesia care, which tailors performance feedback to individual providers based on their specific needs and performance gaps, potentially improving care quality and outcomes.
Conducted with over 60 hospitals in a national consortium, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of this precision A&F approach through a cluster randomized controlled trial, with data collection starting in March 2022 and the intervention phase beginning in March 2024.
