All imaging requests originating from physicians in the participating departments over a 2.5-year period were included (between December 2021 and June 2024).InterventionsAll departments started without a CDSS and required structured clinical indication data entry and tracking of requested imaging. After randomization, 13 clusters (departments at hospitals) received the CDSS intervention (intervention clusters) and 13 clusters did not (control clusters). The CDSS intervention provided ordering physicians with information as to whether their imaging requests were appropriate, appropriate under certain conditions, or inappropriate; in addition, alternative diagnostic tests, including the corresponding appropriateness score, were suggested by the CDSS, after which physicians could choose to modify their imaging requests.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome measure was the proportion of inappropriate imaging requests made per department. A difference-in-differences analysis was used to investigate changes in the proportion of inappropriate imaging requests between departments with vs those without the CDSS.ResultsA total of 65 764 imaging requests were scored using the CDSS; 50.1% of imaging requests were for female patients and the mean patient age was 64 years (SD, 17.1 years). Prior to implementation of the CDSS, there were 21 625 imaging requests from the control clusters, 1367 (6.3%) of which were categorized as inappropriate; and there were 13 338 imaging requests from the intervention clusters, 1007 (7.6%) of which were categorized as inappropriate. After implementation of the CDSS, there were 10 055 imaging requests from the control clusters, 518 (5.2%) of which were categorized as inappropriate; and there were 7206 imaging requests from the intervention clusters, 461 (6.4%) of which were categorized as inappropriate. The intervention clusters showed a similar reduction (mean difference, −0.5% [99% CI, −2.4% to 0.4%]) in inappropriate imaging requests compared with the control clusters (mean difference, −1.8% [99% CI, −4.3% to −0.4%]) and there was a difference-in-differences value of 1.3 percentage points (99% CI, −2.0 to 1.8 percentage points; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .69), which was not statistically significant.Conclusions and RelevanceThe CDSS did not reduce the number of inappropriate imaging requests ordered by physicians in academic hospital se","PeriodicalId":518009,"journal":{"name":"JAMA","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143375410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
