What do BestPractice Advisories (BPAs) provide to clinicians?

BestPractice Advisories (BPAs) are designed to guide clinicians by providing suggestions that enhance patient care. These advisories are evidence-based recommendations aimed at improving clinical outcomes through best practices. Unlike mandatory tasks that require compliance or alerts that specifically warn about medication allergies, BPAs encourage clinicians to consider improvements in care, thereby fostering a more thoughtful approach to treatment options and recommendations. By presenting these suggestions, BPAs help clinicians personalize care to meet the specific needs of their patients, ultimately contributing to better decision-making and patient satisfaction. This enhancement of care is central to what BPAs aim to achieve within the clinical environment.
