Study Summary
Behavioral economics represents a powerful, albeit underutilized tool to influence provider and systems behavior in a large-scale, meaningful, and sustainable way. The investigators propose to use a sophisticated electronic health record (EHR) system to change the default choice for physicians to the choice most supported by clinical practice guidelines (CPG). Multiple guidelines exist describing best practices for effective interventions, yet a large gap persists between actual and optimal guideline compliance. The proposed study will examine the comparative effectiveness of an opt-out medication management protocol relative to usual care for patients not at goal, using national guidelines for cholesterol management implemented in large multispecialty private practices that use an Electronic Health Record system. Specific Aim: To determine the effectiveness of altering the default option in an EHR in prescribing statins to selected patients using clinical decision support. Hypotheses: Compared to usual care, a CPG-concordant intervention designed using behavioral economics principles will significantly improve the proportion of patients who are prescribed statins.
