Our results suggest a delayed uptake of treatment recommendation for ACEI + ARB and a higher impact of Dear Doctor letters addressing PCPs directly compared with published research, contraindications, and warnings. Targeted continuous medical education, practice software alerts, and stronger involvement of pharmacists might improve the implementation of medication safety recommendations in ambulatory care.
