Nudges on Hospitalist Behavior and Patient Satisfaction

Physician behavior plays an important role on patient perception of their care team and on patient satisfaction. Though studies have attempted to impact how physicians interact with their patients through various initiatives, the effect of more subtle nudges on physician behavior have not been studies. As such, the investigators propose a randomized controlled deception trial to evaluate the impact of nudges on hospitalist behavior and patient satisfaction.
