Prior literature suggests that practice level characteristics mediate racial/ethnic disparities in clinical outcomes.1 One such practice level characteristic, use of electronic health records (EHRs) with clinical decision support (CDS), has been associated with improved blood pressure (BP) control in a national study.2 However, we do not know whether these effects differ across racial/ethnic groups.3 We sought to determine whether physician use of EHRs with and without CDS is associated with a reduction in racial/ethnic disparities in BP control in a nationally representative sample.
