Award to Mayo Clinic Rochester for a project to reduce inappropriate thyroid ultrasound use by developing identification methods and de-implementation strategies.
Description
This project aims to explore the multi-level factors driving inappropriate thyroid ultrasound (iTUS) and identify strategies for de-implementation. The study will develop a computer phenotype to identify patients receiving iTUS, analyze patient, clinician, and practice factors associated with iTUS, and identify acceptable strategies for de-implementation using mixed methods.
