Alerting physicians during electronic order entry effectively reduces unnecessary repeat PCR testing for Clostridium difficile.

Robert F Luo1, Suzanne Spradley, Niaz Banaei.   

Abstract

Hospital information systems (HIS) alerts restricting repeat Clostridium difficile PCR ordering by physicians in patients with a prior result within 7 days eliminated 91% of repeat tests, from 14.5% (282/1,949) repeats preintervention to 1.3% (135/10,285) postintervention. HIS alerting is an effective, targeted, patient-specific tool for improving the quality and utilization of C. difficile results.
