Summary

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.
