Our objective in this study was to improve CM testing rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a time series of clinician practice before and after an intervention that occurred at UC clinics in Phoenix and Tucson Arizona. All patients in UC were &amp;gt;18 years old. We included information about CM in periodic educational activities for clinicians. Coccidioidal serologic testing (CST), CST results, and their relation to International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes were extracted from medical records.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Urgent care received 2.1\u2005million visits from 1.5\u2005million patients. The CST orders per 104 visits increased from 5.5 to 19.8 (P &amp;lt; .0001). Percentage positive CSTs were highest for August, November, and December (17.0%) versus other months (10.6%). Positive CSTs were associated with PNA ICD-10 codes, and, independently, for Erythema nodosum (EN) which had the highest positivity rate (61.4%). Testing of PNA pts increased on first visits and on second visits when the first CST was negative. Yearly rates of PNA due to CM ranged from 17.3% to 26.0%. Despite this improvement, CST was still not done for over three quarters of pts with PNA. This was a noncomparative study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Routine quality improvement activities have significantly but only partially improved rates of testing pts with PNA for CM in UC clinics located in a highly endemic area. Innovative strategies may be needed to improve current practice. Also in our region, EN, independent of PNA, is a strong predictor of CM.<\/jats:p>\n
