In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to clinician's in-basket, Automated Voice Message (AVM) reminder to patient's phone, and 1 other intervention for Safety. Completed, across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Errors and preventable adverse events associated with medication prescription and dispensing are common, and the difference between guideline recommendations and the actual frequency of laboratory monitoring is substantial. This study evaluates three interventions to improve laboratory monitoring at initiation of medication therapy: an electronic medical record reminder to the prescribing clinician (EMR), an automated voice message to the patient (AVM), and a pharmacy team outreach (Pharmacy) compared to usual care (UC).
