CT Dose Optimization and Standardization Endeavor (DOSE) Collaboratory
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Simple Audit Report, Multi-Component Intervention, and 1 other intervention for Ionizing Radiation Exposure and Quality Improvement. Completed, enrolled 864,080 participants.
Detailed Summary
This is a pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial to explore variation in doses used for diagnostic CT by pooling radiation dose data across diverse healthcare delivery systems. To compare different strategies for lowering and optimizing dose and identify the barriers and facilitators to implementing successful dose optimization strategies and standardizing practice.

Interventions
The simple audit provides comparison and feedback on radiation doses.
The multi-component intervention gives tailored feedback on needed changes plus guidance using quality improvement methods that facilitate organizational change. Provides access to experts, detailed audit, collaborative calls, and site visits (as needed).
Collaborator meeting with an emphasis on quality improvement.
