実験的:Standardized Patient Instructor Intervention
Primary care physicians (PCPs) randomized to intervention will receive over a three month run-in period two visits by standardized patient instructors portraying: 1) a 48 year-old patient with low back pain for less than six-weeks and no "red flags" for immediate spinal imaging; and 2) a 50 year-old recently menopausal woman establishing care with concerns about osteoporosis risk.
|
In each case, patients will harbor underlying concerns about a serious underlying condition (e.g., either disc herniation or osteoporosis) and will request inappropriate tests. Standardized patient instructors (SPIs) will portray new patients visiting the clinic for the first time, and electronic medical records will be identical to that of actual new patients. During the initial part of intervention visits, SPIs will assess the extent to which PCPs engage in patient-centered techniques specified in the final intervention model. SPIs will then break of their role and either teach or reinforce PCP use of the techniques, presenting techniques in a logical sequence while emphasizing flexibility in their use. SPIs will use scripts to deliver the interventions, providing opportunities for PCPs to ask questions, discuss concepts, and practice (by role playing) patient-centered techniques. |
|
アクティブコンパレータ:Control
In the latter half of visits with control PCPs, standardized patient instructors (SPIs) will share information regarding low back pain or bone health that are unrelated to diagnostic testing, but will not discuss patient-centered techniques or conduct training.
The total duration of the control "information sharing" will be about one-third the SPI intervention to enhance patient-centeredness.

|
Number of inappropriate diagnostic tests ordered
時間枠:9 months
|
Investigators will assess via blinded, standardized chart review whether study physicians ordered inappropriate diagnostic tests for unannounced standardized patients who request testing during three follow-up visits occurring 3 to 9 months post-randomization.

Use of patient-centered counseling techniques
時間枠:9 months

Physician use of patient-centered counseling techniques as assessed via masked recordings of three standardized patient visits
|
9 months

|
Actual diagnostic test ordering among real patients
時間枠:9 months post-intervention
|
Among real patients seen by study physicians, we will assess diagnostic test ordering among actual adult patients during the post-intervention period.
We will also assess comparable diagnostic test ordering during the pre-intervention period to enable adjustment for baseline test ordering.
