    Abstract Co-creation is health professionals' and systems' development of health care together with patients and families. Such collaborations yield an exchange of values, ideas, and priorities that can individualize care for each patient. Co-creation has been discussed interchangeably with co-production and shared decision making; this article explores co-creation through the lens of quality improvement. Although there are barriers to co-creation including physician autonomy, patient overwhelm, and conflicts of interest, co-creation has been shown to promote patient engagement, peer learning, and improved outcomes. Further research is needed in co-creation for systems improvement.

    Abstract Background: Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is a hospital-acquired infection. Overtesting for C. difficile leads to false positive results due to a high rate of asymptomatic colonization, resulting in unnecessary and harmful treatment for patients.
    Methods: This was a quality improvement initiative to decrease the rate of inappropriate C. difficile testing across 11 hospitals in an urban, safety-net setting. Three best practice advisories were created, alerting providers of recent laxative administration within 48 hours, a recent positive test within 14 days, and a recent negative test within 7 days. The outcome measures were the number of C. difficile tests per 1,000 patient days, as well as the rate of hospital onset C. difficile infection was compared pre- and post-intervention. The process measures included the rate of removal of the C. difficile test from the best practice advisory, as well as the subsequent 24-hour re-order rate.
    Results: The number of C. difficile tests decreased by 27.3% from 1.1 per 1,000 patient days preintervention (May 25, 2020-May 24, 2021) to 0.8 per 1,000 patient days postintervention, (May 25, 2021-March 25, 2022), P < .001. When stratified by hospital, changes in testing ranged from an increase of 12.5% to a decrease of 60%. Analysis among provider type showed higher behavior change among attendings than compared to trainees or advanced practice providers. There was a 12.1%, nonsignificant decrease in C. difficile rates from preintervention, 0.33 per 1,000 patient days compared to postintervention, 0.29 per 1,000 patient days, P=.32.
    Conclusions: Using only an electronic health record intervention, we successfully decreased C. difficile orders after 72 hours of admission in a large, safety-net system. Variation existed among hospitals and by provider type.

    Abstract Background: Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is common. Overtreatment of ASB leads to harm, including adverse effects from antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, and increased length of stay.
    Methods: This quality improvement initiative targeted inappropriate urine cultures across 11 hospitals in a safety-net setting. A mandatory prompt for appropriate indications for urine culture orders and a best practice advisory (BPA) for urine culture on patients with urinary catheters were created. Urine culture ordering was compared pre-intervention (6/2020 to 10/2021) to post-intervention (12/2021 to 8/2022). Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) was compared pre- and post-intervention. Variation in urine culture ordering and CAUTI rates in hospitals were assessed.
    Results: Inpatient urine cultures decreased by 20.9% (p<0.001). Inpatient urine cultures on patients with urinary catheters decreased by 21.6% (p<0.001). CAUTI rates remained unchanged post-intervention. High variation in urine culture ordering and CAUTI rates was seen among hospitals.
    Conclusions: This initiative successfully decreased urine cultures in a large, safety-net system. Further study is needed in assessing variation among hospitals.

    Abstract Objectives: C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are commonly used inflammatory markers. C-reactive protein is more sensitive and specific for monitoring acute inflammation. However, it is commonly co-ordered with ESR despite recommendations against this. Our objective was to reduce unnecessary ESR orders and ESR/CRP co-ordering rates across a large safety net health system.
    Methods: This was a quality improvement project that used a quasi-experimental pre- and postintervention interrupted time-series regression analysis. Patients with a positive COVID-19 test were excluded. We designed a nonintrusive, normative nudge within the ESR order that recommended against co-ordering ESR and CRP. In addition, a best practice advisory triggered when ESR and CRP were simultaneously ordered. The outcome measures were ESR order rates per 1000 patient days in the inpatient setting and per 1000 patient encounters in the outpatient setting, as well as ESR/CRP co-ordering rates.
    Results: Inpatient ESR orders decreased from 12.02 preintervention to 5.61 per 1000 patient days (-53.3%, P < .001). Outpatient ESR orders decreased from 6.09 to 4.07 per 1000 patient encounters (-33.2%, P < .001). Relative co-ordering rates decreased by 50%.
    Conclusions: This electronic health record initiative successfully reduced ESR testing across 11 hospitals and 70 ambulatory centers in a safety net setting.
