Across three practice sites in a large health system, implementation of a provider team-focused EMR-based nudge intervention was feasible, and led to a higher number of patients with NSCLC undergoing comprehensive molecular genotyping. These findings demonstrate that behavioral nudges can promote molecular testing and should be studied further as a tool to improve guideline-concordant care in both community and academic sites.
