Social Marketing in Medical Education: Influencing Medical Student Use of Evidence-based Templates in Outpatient Documentation of Asthma Care Using an Electronic Medical Record
The purpose of the study is to measure the effectiveness of a social marketing-based medical education intervention on student use of evidence-based templates for documenting outpatient asthma care within an electronic medical record.

Detailed Description
The purpose of the study was to measure the effectiveness of a physician-educator led clinical documentation workshop, embedded with 7 persuasive social-marketing based messages, on medical student response using a targeted asthma template.
Stated differently, whether a physician-educator could "persuade" medical students to use an evidence-based EMR asthma template to document an outpatient mild persistent asthma encounter with a patient.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Number of Participants Using Evidence-based Template to Document Asthma Care Within an Electronic Medical Record
Time Frame: immediately after invervention and 30+ days in follow-up
|
The primary outcome measure is a count of whether or not the research participant uses the electronic health record-based Asthma AIM form to document a simulated outpatient mild persistent asthma encounter at T1 (immediately following intervention) and T2 (upon completion of family medicine clerkship approximately 35 days later).

immediately after invervention and 30+ days in follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Clinical Note Completeness Score
Time Frame: immediately after intervention and 30+ days in follow-up
|
The Note Completeness Score is a total score (range 1-31)earned when a clinical encounter note is compared against a note completeness score assessment tool designed by our research team.
The tool measures 11 documentation components of the outpatient note.
Each of the 11 components are scaled either 0-1 or 0-4 based on perceived importance by our physician designers.
