Pilot ePNa tool for pneumonia decisions in urgent care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests and rolls out an electronic support tool (ePNa) to help urgent care clinicians decide how to evaluate and manage pneumonia. It may help by standardizing decision-making so patients get more consistent care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 12 or older
- You were evaluated for pneumonia or complications like acute respiratory failure or sepsis with secondary pneumonia
- Your pneumonia diagnosis has X-ray (or other imaging) confirmation
- This would be for a current pneumonia episode, not a repeat pneumonia within the last 12 months
- A clinician you see in one of the Utah Valley urgent care locations would be using the decision support tool

This study looks at pneumonia patients in two emergency departments to see if using a new electronic tool can improve care. It collects information from hospital records to understand how well the tool works.
This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia faster and more accurately in older adults who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. The goal is to see if these new tests work better than the current methods.
This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (sudden worsening of symptoms). It aims to help people who come to the emergency room with a COPD flare-up get better care and follow-up.
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This study tests a pneumococcal vaccine designed for 20 types of bacteria in older adults who are hospitalized with suspected community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see how the vaccine works in real-world care and whether it affects how pneumonia happens or progresses.
