About The Study: This study showed that a nudge intervention in the electronic health record (EHR) significantly decreased low-value axillary surgery in older women with early-stage, clinically node-negative, HR+/HER2− breast cancer. This user-friendly and easily implementable EHR-based intervention could be a beneficial approach for decreasing low-value care in other practice settings or patient populations.
