EHR-Embedded Decision Support to Prevent Stroke in Patients With AF

The AFDST is a decision support tool that is embedded in our electronic health record system. Currently, this is a passive tool that requires the clinician to launch the tool if an analysis is desired. The experimental arm of this study will add a best practice advisory (BPA) that will trigger when a clinician is in the medical record of an AF patient who might gain substantial benefit (survival and quality of life) if treatment were changed from the current anticoagulation plan, which might be no anticoagulant therapy.
