Preference List Defaults for High Blood Pressure
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.
