Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Providers will see an automated electronic alert for each eligible hyperlipidemia patient at high risk for future atherosclerotic CVD events. This alert will appear when the provider enters the order entry screen in the patient's medical record during the patient's first eligible outpatient visit. The alert consists of a "pop up" that notifies the physician that the patient is at very high risk for ASCVD events, displays the most recent cholesterol values and the patient's current lipid lowering therapy. It also includes a link to full treatment guidelines for hyperlipidemia, which includes a continuing medical education (CME) option to obtain CME credits.
