Summary
This study tested two ways of reminding doctors to prescribe statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) during patient visits. Over 3,300 adults who were eligible for statins but not taking them were included. The goal was to see if a pop-up alert or a less intrusive reminder worked better to get patients started on the medication.
