Impact of Automatic Prompts in Echocardiographic Reports on Referral to Cardiology (NCT06816888)
Impact of Automatic Prompts in Echocardiographic Reports on Referral to Cardiology - A Randomized Control Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Echo Prompts study is a multi-center randomized controlled study to evaluate the impact of automatic prompts added to the conclusion of the echocardiographic reports of patient diagnosed with significant VHD 1) suggesting referral to a cardiologist or 2) suggesting referral to a cardiologist and offering the help of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Center for Valvular Heart Diseases, compared to current standard of care (no prompts) on the rates and time to an evaluation by a cardiologist.
