iNUDGE: INtegration of liqUiD Biopsy Based Next Generation Gene sEquencing in Newly Diagnosed NSCLC - A Stepped Wedge Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Charu Aggarwal

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study expands the application of an electronic health record (EHR) "nudge" used to prompt physicians' clinical practice to order molecular testing at the time of initial diagnosis for patients with specific types of advanced lung cancer. The primary goal is to have these test results available prior to starting treatment so that physicians can make molecularly-informed treatment decisions. The second goal is to better understand factors that contribute to whether or not the EHR-nudge implementation is successful.
