Leveraging Electronic Health Record Technology and Team Care to Address Medication Adherence: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Low medication adherence is a common cause of high blood pressure but is often unrecognized in clinical practice. Electronic data linkages between electronic health records (EHRs) and pharmacies offer the opportunity to identify low medication adherence, which can be used for interventions at the point of care. We developed a multicomponent intervention that uses linked EHR and pharmacy data to automatically identify patients with elevated blood pressure and low medication adherence.
