Summary
This study tests whether changing how combination blood pressure pills appear in the electronic health record can encourage doctors to prescribe them more often. Over 12,000 patients will be included, and researchers will track whether a simple label like "(PREFERRED)" makes a difference. The goal is to reduce the number of pills patients need to take and improve blood pressure control.
