Study Summary
This trial is testing whether a multi-disciplinary, physician-focused behavioral intervention can improve facility-level guideline-concordant utilization of prostate cancer staging imaging.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for Urology Chiefs, attending urologists, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners at the VA who've treated at least 5 men with new prostate cancer in the last 6 months. It's not for residents or those over 85 years old, without certain medical data, a history of other cancers, or patients diagnosed post-mortem.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a multi-part intervention aimed at doctors can make prostate cancer imaging more guideline-concordant. Methods include Clinical Order Checks to guide decisions, Academic Detailing for education on best practices, and Audit and Feedback to review physician performance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on physician behavior rather than direct patient treatments, it does not involve typical medication side effects. However, there may be indirect effects on patient care based on changes in imaging practices.
