Electronic Medical Record Reminders and Panel Management to Improve Primary Care of Elderly Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: EMR Reminders to Improve Rates of Recommended Care

In brief

The investigators conducted a controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of electronic medical record (EMR) reminders, with or without a panel manager, on completion of health care proxy, osteoporosis screening, and influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations for patients age 65 or older. The investigators hypothesized that EMR reminders would improve adherence to practice guidelines and that benefits would be enhanced with the support of a panel manager.
