Implementation and Interaction of Clinician And Patient-facing Tools Aiming to Intensify Neurohormonal Medicines for Heart Failure

A brief, animated video designed to engage and activate patients around their HFrEF medication prescribing sent prior to routine cardiology clinic visit, accompanied by a one-page HeartMeds Guide checklist.

A best practice alert will appear for each eligible patient upon opening of the order entry screen in the patient's medical record. This alerts the provider of the presence of HFrEF, notes the patient's current LVEF and current evidence-based medications, and gives access to an order set with recommended evidence-based, guideline-recommended, and FDA- approved therapies for patients with HFrEF. Providers will also have access to a link to best available guideline recommended information regarding treatment of heart failure to allow further education if desired by the provider. The alerts will also clearly state the expected monitoring and follow-up required for prescriptions of these medications.
