Interventions

  • Revising preference list by adding "(PREFERRED)" to combination medication names — BEHAVIORAL
    Providers in the intervention group will see "(PREFERRED)" listed before combination blood pressure medication names, which will frequently cause the combination medications to appear at the top of the EHR preference list.

Study Details

This study aims to evaluate whether modifying the EPIC preference list to display combination blood pressure (BP) medications at the top and/or adding "(PREFERRED)" to the beginning of the medication listing increases prescribing of these medications. Combination BP medications are aligned with value-based care guidelines and may improve patient adherence and reduce pill burden. Currently, these medications may be under-prescribed in part due to their low visibility in the EPIC prescribing interface.
