Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The hypothesis is that a newly formatted electronic alert that requires the prescriber to pause and enter a specific "reason for override" on this alert, will cause prescribers in the intervention group to be significantly less likely to prescribe the combination of warfarin and NSAID than prescribers in the control group.
