The Effect of Data Visualization on Provider Knowledge of Culture Sensitivity Results

The goal of this study is to assess the utility of a data visualization tool for providers'
understanding patients' past microbiological culture sensitivities. Providers that are
ordering antibiotics for patients with previous culture data in the medical record will be
asked to answer questions regarding past sensitivity results. They will be randomized to
either using the visualization tool before answering the questions or using the standard
medical record tools. They will then be surveyed about their decision-making, knowledge, and
the usefulness of the tool.
