Tailored Electronic Intervention to Improve Therapy in a Diverse Cohort of Patients With Heart Failure

The EPIC-HF checklist is a 1-page patient activation tool that contains approved and guideline-recommended medications and target doses for HFrEF. The EPIC-HF checklist allows patients to see recommended doses and categories of GDMT, which they can compare to their current medications and dosing. The EPIC-HF checklist has been refined and updated to include GDMT prescription and has been optimized for delivery through electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The checklist is being used as a patient activation/ discussion tool only and data entered on the checklist will not be collected for purposes of this study.

Information regarding GDMT (including target doses and medications) analogous to what is contained in the checklist will be provided to clinicians in intervention clinics. This information will be visible at the time of the encounter.

Patients of clinics that are not implementing EPIC-HF checklist will not have the checklist available to them through the electronic medical record (EMR).
