    A clinical decision support system (CDSS) improved treatment intensification but did not significantly enhance overall blood pressure control rates.

  • 2

    Each incremental increase in treatment intensification score was associated with a 3.8-mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure.

  • 3

    Therapeutic inertia affects 30% to 87% of patients with uncontrolled hypertension, highlighting barriers to achieving blood pressure targets.

  • 4

    The effectiveness of a CDSS is influenced by clinician adherence to recommendations and requires deliberate implementation strategies.

  • 5

    Combining CDSS with team-based care and multilevel interventions is suggested to address the full spectrum of barriers to blood pressure control.
