What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The INSPIRE-ASP PNA trial is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of HCA hospitals comparing routine empiric antibiotic stewardship practices with real-time precision medicine computerized physician order entry smart prompts providing the probability that a non-critically ill adult admitted with PNA is infected with a resistant pathogen. Note: that enrolled "subjects" represents 59 individual HCA hospitals that have been randomized.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

The INSPIRE-ASP PNA Trial is for HCA hospitals using MEDITECH electronic health records, admitting non-critically ill adults with pneumonia. It's not about individual patients but the facilities themselves.

Inclusion Criteria

The clinical trial is for adults with pneumonia who are admitted to HCA hospitals.

The medical facility uses MEDITECH as their electronic health record system.

I'm sorry, but the criterion "Facility" is too general to be rewritten in simpler language. Could you please provide more context or details so that I can assist you more effectively?

Timeline for a Trial Participant

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• INSPIRE CPOE Smart Prompt
• Routine Care

Trial Overview This trial tests routine care against a smart system that tells doctors the chance of a pneumonia patient having a resistant infection. Hospitals are randomly chosen to use either standard methods or this new computer prompt.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: INSPIRE CPOE Smart Prompt Active Control 1 Intervention

Use of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) smart prompt alert to guide empiric choice of antibiotics for PNA in non-ICU patients in the first 3 days of hospitalization.

Group II: Routine Care Active Control 1 Intervention

Continued routine antibiotic stewardship strategies.
