DEVICE

Medication Metronome

Providers allocated to intervention will see an additional feature when logging on to their electronic health record medication prescription interface that enables them to schedule future laboratory testing for the pre-defined subset of study-specific medications. New prescription or dose adjustment by the PCP of one of these pre-specified medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia will initiate the follow-up result monitoring, patient outreach, and PCP reminders that constitute the Medication Metronome system.
