Abstract

We tested whether a technology-assisted pharmacist intervention improved physician adherence to guidelines for lipid-lowering therapy in diabetic patients. Computerized alerts identified diabetic patients above LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C) goal. During Period 1 prescribing behavior was observed in both control and intervention physician groups without intervening. In Period 2, pharmacists conducted academic detailing with intervention group physicians. Control group physicians were observed. The intervention significantly improved the proportion of diabetic patients discharged on statin therapy.
