Example of pop-up on physician's computer screen. The pop-ups provide various reminders to the physician related to specific patients. For example, if the most recent blood pressure recorded within the last six months is above 140/90 mm Hg, the physician will be asked if antihypertensive therapy is being considered when the patient's medical record is opened. If the physician responds "Yes" the pop-up in the figure appears, which reminds the physician that thiazides are first-choice drug for most cases of uncomplicated hypertension and asks if he/she would like to prescribe a thiazide. If the response is "Yes" the next pop-up provides brand names of available thiazide-drugs.
