Evaluating Strategies to Improve Guideline Directed Medical Therapy: The GDMT Research, Education & Assist Trial for Heart Failure Care

Evaluating Strategies to Improve Guideline Directed Medical Therapy: The GDMT Research, Education & Assist Trial for Heart Failure Care

Experimental: Focused Education + CDS + Pharmacist Co-Management
Clinicians in this arm will receive focused education along with clinicians/patient CDS. The clinician-facing BPA will include an option to refer patients to embedded pharmacist co-management. Pharmacists are expected to meet with patients and optimize GDMT through a collaborative practice agreement with clinicians.
Behavioral: Pharmacist co-management
Eligible patients within this arm will be referred to embedded pharmacist co-management. Pharmacists are expected to meet with patients and optimize GDMT through a collaborative practice agreement with clinicians.
Other Name: Opt-out default
Behavioral: CDS
Accepting the clinician-facing BPA default recommendation will open an order set for GDMT that lists common recommended options in such a way that facilitates optimal prescribing. Patient responses to a pre-visit questionnaire encouraging them to ask about better treatment options will also be shown to clinicians within the BPA.
Other Names:

Opt-out default
Active choice
Default order of options
Advisory
Alert

Behavioral: Focused Education
A series of focused, interactive education sessions will train clinicians in why, when, and how to prescribe GDMT to patients, with incentives such as continuing medical education (CME) credits, and with virtual and recorded options available to those who are unable to attend in-person meetings.
Other Names:
