About this trial

* The purpose of the study is to improve care for patients with high cholesterol. * If you choose to join the study, you will be asked to answer a phone call from study personnel. They will help you coordinate follow up appointments, review your medications and lab with you, and answer any questions you have about your medications. You will also continue to be seen by a clinical pharmacy team member. Your cholesterol medications may change to better lower your cholesterol. We will collect information about your visits, medicines, and cholesterol levels for 6 months. * If you choose not to participate, you will receive the same information and treatment at your next scheduled visit. You will receive the same care regardless of choosing to participate in the study. * Participation might involve a very low risk of some loss of privacy. There is low risk that someone outside the research study could see information about you. * A possible benefit is lower cholesterol. * Taking part in this research study is your choice. You do not have to participate, and you can stop at any time without any penalty.
