NCT ID NCT06934564
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a set of tools—like doctor education, decision aids, and financial incentives—can reduce unnecessary medical tests before low-risk surgeries such as breast lump removal, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair. Sixteen hospitals in Michigan will use these strategies for three months. The goal is to see if fewer tests are ordered without increasing emergency visits.
