| customized electronic alert | Experimental | This intervention was not targeted to patients with a disease but to the providers.

|
| Standard practice | No Intervention | The control group was not patients but the providers. Providers in the control group continued with the standard practice of receiving passive alerts in the form of message boxes warning the provider not to prescribe the combination drugs warfarin and NSAID. |
