CDS_PS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Interruptive Best Practice Advisory - CDS InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Adults at Elevated Predicted Risk (>=2% predicted risk, based on our study, DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2021.1428) at visit registration (aka "check-in") will be randomized to either Interruptive Alert or Passive Prompt CDS interventions. In the Interruptive Alert, the physician who next opens that patient's chart will be prompted to review a BPA describing the patient's risk and asking the physician to choose from the BPA options (see Interventions). The BPA will need to be dismissed to the Epic Storyboard or completed as above to continue clinical workflow.
Group II: Passive Storyboard Prompt - CDS InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
Adult patients in the highest predicted risk tier (>=2% predicted risk, based on our research study, DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2021.1428) at the time of visit registration (aka "check-in") will be randomized to either the Interruptive Alert or Passive Prompt CDS intervention arms. In the Passive Prompt arm, the physician who next opens the patients' charts after check-in (e.g., "Chart Review") will see a Storyboard icon for Elevated Suicide Risk on the left side of the screen. Hovering over this icon will bring up a window with the BPA information in a view identical to the Interruptive Alert arm. Clicking on the window will bring up the BPA with full functionality as in the Interruptive Alert arm.
