Which of the following best describes the impact of implementing new default settings in a clinical decision- making environment? Implementing new defaults in the electronic medical record often leads to an increase in the status quo bias, making it difficult to provide high- quality, cost-effective care. Changing default settings, like an electronic medical record-based entry system defaulting to generic drugs, has been shown to increase the rates at which those defaults are chosen. The introduction of new defaults in a prescribing decision-making environment generally leads to a preference for brand-name medications over generics amongst physicians. New defaults in an electronic medical record usually decrease the efficiency of decision-making processes, making them more cumbersome and less cost-effective.
