About
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.
