Study Summary

This project tests a model of chronic disease medication management in which the decision to initiate or adjust medical therapy is directly linked to a sequence of subsequent clinical actions (e.g. monitoring for adverse drug events, assessing response to therapy, changing medication dose) performed independently of the office visit. The investigators hypothesize that establishing a visit-independent, health information technology (IT) supported cycle of laboratory monitoring and iterative medication dose adjustment will result in more effective chronic disease care.

Primary Outcome

Percentage of follow-up time (from initial prescription to final laboratory result available during the 18-month study period) that a patient is at or below risk factor goal for LDL(LDL-cholesterol ≤ 130 mg/dL for patients without cardiovascular risk and ≤ 100 mg/dl for patients with cardiovascular risk).
