Evidence Based Best Care Practice for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

The intervention, DIZZTINCT, is a multi-faceted educational and care-process based intervention designed to improve the guideline-concordant care of patients with BPPV in the emergency department. The intervention includes six main components: the recruitment and training of local champions who will serve as colleague experts in the community; interactive hands-on educational sessions that address BPPV mechanisms, evidence and practice; a high-yield decision-aid web application for self study and point of care use; development of a referral network for follow up care; follow-up educational sessions to review successes and barriers amongst the intervention group; and other resources developed locally in partnership with the community medical providers.
