PONDER-ICU Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: EHR-Based Intervention BActive Control1 Intervention
Intervention B (Accountable Justification) will be an EHR-based screen prompt triggered for eligible patients. The intervention will consist of no more than two questions that can be completed in two minutes or less. Completion of the prompt will be encouraged but not required, and adherence will be assessed in a minimally intrusive manner.
Group II: Pre-Intervention (Control)Active Control1 Intervention
There is no trial-driven approach to care. All hospitals contribute a minimum of 5 months of outcomes data prior to adopting the intervention. Pre-specified outcomes data will be electronically extracted for patients meeting eligibility criteria but there will be no attempt to influence delivery of usual care within the hospital. The length of the control phase will differ at each hospital, dependent on the sequence in which hospitals are assigned to switch to the intervention phase.
Group III: Combined EHR-Based Intervention (A+B)Active Control2 Interventions
Intervention A and B prompts will be combined and triggered for eligible patients simultaneously. Completion of the prompt will be encouraged but not required, and adherence will be assessed in a minimally intrusive manner.
Group IV: EHR-Based Intervention AActive Control1 Intervention
Intervention A (Prognostication) will be an EHR-based screen prompt triggered for eligible patients. The intervention will consist of no more than two questions that can be completed in two minutes or less. Completion of the prompt will be encouraged but not required, and adherence will be assessed in a minimally intrusive manner.
