NCT ID NCT07031219

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a pop-up alert in electronic medical records can help primary care doctors order screening for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C all at once. About 50 primary care providers will participate, and their patient visits will be randomly assigned to either see the alert or not. The goal is to see if the alert leads to more screening and diagnoses of these infections.

Active substance

electronic medical record alert

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simple EMR alert helps doctors catch more hidden HIV and hepatitis cases, leading to earlier treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study with only 50 providers, so results may not apply widely. The alert might not change behavior much or could cause alert fatigue.
