A Prospective Multi‐Center Implementation Study to Improve the Diagnosis and Treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
The intervention did not significantly increase appropriate CRM use but led to improvements in selective imaging, neurology consultation, and horizontal canal testing. Provision of educational tools alone was insufficient to overcome identified environmental barriers. To effectively improve BPPV management in the ED, future efforts should combine hands-on training with system-level supports and workflow integration.
