represented in the "VA-BLOOD PRESSURE CHECK" reminder.  This reminder
includes an alteration of the blood pressure reminder guidelines when the
patient has a history of hypertension on file.

use.  If local modifications need to be made, copy the preferred reminder
to a new reminder and make your reminder modifications.

has received a blood pressure check.  As distributed, the reminder checks
for an ICD Diagnosis or a CPT procedure code representing "Hypertension
Screen", or a record of a blood pressure (BP) in the Vitals/Measurements
package.
