摘要: Abstract Objectives This study sought to prospectively the impact of an appropriate use criteria (AUC)-based educational intervention on outpatient transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) ordering by physicians-in-training. Background AUC were developed in response concerns about inappropriate utilization. It is unknown whether can reduce TTE. Methods We conducted a randomized control trial which physicians-in-training AUC-based or group at academic medical center Boston, Massachusetts. The primary endpoints rates and Results For cardiology physicians-in-training, proportion TTE was significantly lower than (13% vs. 34%, p  Conclusions In fellows with high rate TTE, feedback reduced increased (Educational Intervention Reduce Outpatient Inappropriate Transthoracic Echocardiograms; NCT01944202 )
