Electronic Tools to Increase Recognition and Improve Primary Care Management for Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease

"The intervention will be a clinical decision support (CDS) system that contains three main features: 1) methods to synthesize electronic health record (EHR) data in order to identify under-diagnosed chronic conditions (synthesize existing medical data to increase recognition of CKD and uncontrolled HTN in CKD patients and deliver management recommendations based on this evidence), 2) improve the design and content of the CDS using human factors methods, specifically usability testing, and 3) the use of two behavioral nudges (pre-checked default orders and an email to obtain commitment from PCPs to obtain their commitment to follow the CDS recommendations)."

Usual Care, PCP will receive an email with general information about CKD guidelines
