Abbreviation: IRR, incidence rate ratio.

a

Estimates the immediate change in the incidence of duplicate orders after implementation.

b

Estimates the gradual change in the incidence of duplicate orders over time after implementation.

c

Estimates the preintervention trend in incidence over time.
