Background: At a large quaternary health system, tissue specimens were frequently sent to the microbiology laboratory with an incorrect wound culture order meant for swab specimens due to poor electronic health record menu design. Wound cultures were also requested in chronic wound cases with a low index of suspicion for acute infection.
Objective: To present a case report on specific changes to the design of the electronic test menu that resulted in higher numbers of appropriate ordering practices.
