This research study will use a hybrid effectiveness-implementation type 1 design to assess effectiveness of the Spotfire R/ST assay in the urgent care setting. A hybrid effectiveness-implementation type 1 study primarily focuses on the effectiveness of an intervention (e.g., use of Spotfire R/ST) but also simultaneously allows for the collection of data on the barriers and facilitators of implementing the Spotfire R/ST test in the real-world urgent care setting.
