Description
Doctors often leave high blood pressure undertreated, a habit called inertia, even when a visit shows it uncontrolled. Jiali Song and eight co-authors re-analyzed a cluster trial in 2026 to see whether a decision support system pushed doctors to intensify treatment and gain control.
The original trial ran in urban primary care practices in China with 4,612 adults whose pressure started uncontrolled. Clinics using the real-time, guideline-based support tool were compared with usual-care clinics. The key measure was how often a visit with high readings ended in a stronger dose or an added drug class. The analysis also linked intensification itself to later pressure change, testing the assumption that bolder prescribing is the bridge to control.
