BACKGROUND: Identifying hospitals that are both early and consistent adopters of
high-value care can help shed light on the culture and practices at those
institutions that are necessary to promote high-value care nationwide. The use of
troponin to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and not to test for
myoglobin or creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), is a high-value recommendation of the
Choosing WiselyŽ campaign. OBJECTIVE: To examine the variation in cardiac
biomarker testing and the effect of the Choosing WiselyŽ troponin-only
recommendation for the diagnosis of AMI. DESIGN: A retrospective observational
study using administrative ordering data from Vizient's Clinical
Database/Resource Manager. SETTING: Ninety-one academic medical centers from the
fourth quarter of 2013 through the third quarter of 2016. PATIENTS: Hospitalized
patients with a principal discharge diagnosis of AMI. INTERVENTION: The Choosing
WiselyŽ recommendation to order troponin-only testing to diagnose AMI was
released during the first quarter of 2015. RESULTS: In 19 hospitals,
troponin-only testing was consistently ordered to diagnose AMI before the
Choosing WiselyŽ recommendation and throughout the study period. In 34 hospitals,
both troponin and myoglobin/CK-MB were ordered to diagnose AMI even after the
Choosing WiselyŽ recommendation. In 26 hospitals with low rates of troponin-only
testing before the Choosing WiselyŽ recommendation, the release of the
recommendation was associated with a statistically significant increase in the
rate of troponin-only testing to diagnose AMI. CONCLUSIONS: In institutions with
low rates of troponin-only testing prior to the Choosing WiselyŽ recommendation,
the recommendation was associated with a significant increase in the rate of
troponin-only testing.
