Summary

This study tests whether simple electronic reminders can help doctors avoid sending patients to specialists when it's not needed. About 1,600 UCLA Health physicians will see checklists and alerts when ordering referrals to cardiology, pulmonology, or gastroenterology. The goal is to see if these prompts reduce low-value referrals without harming patient care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
behavioral intervention (EHR prompts, checklists, and audit notifications)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help reduce unnecessary specialist referrals, saving healthcare costs and improving patient care efficiency.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results may not apply outside UCLA Health, and the intervention might not change physician behavior as expected.
