Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are stress tests which may identify women at high risk of future cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death among women. Given the public health impact of HDP and CVD, there is a compelling need to identify scalable interventions to improve preventative care among women who have risk identified during pregnancy. We will examine the effects of delivering electronic prompts to obstetric care providers (nudge) on transitions of care in the postpartum period. We will conduct a pilot randomized trial to evaluate whether this nudge intervention will improve postpartum counseling and lead to greater follow-up with preventative care providers among women with HDP.
