Heart Failure Clinical Trial

A Pilot Study to Increase Utilization of GDMT in Patients With HFrEF

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that provides clinicians (cardiologists and nurse practitioners) medication recommendations regarding guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Full Description

The purpose of our study is to test whether home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) with clinical-decision support (CDS) will optimize the use of GDMT in patients with HFrEF. HBPM allows cardiologists and NPs to monitor patients outside the clinical setting so that GDMT can be safely initiated and up-titrated. The CDS employs HBPM and electronic medical record (EMR) data to implement the ACC/AHA HF guidelines and provides cardiologists and NPs with GDMT recommendations.
