Evaluating the Reach of Clinical Decision Support for Patients With Heart Failure (NCT06847906)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

To work best, clinical decision support tools (CDS) must be timed to provide support when healthcare decisions are made, which includes virtual visits (phone or video). Unfortunately, most CDS tools are either missing from virtual visits or not designed for the unique context of virtual visits (e.g., availability of physical assessments and labs, different workflows), which could generate new inequities for patients more likely to use virtual visits. The objective of this study is to test the reach, feasibility and acceptability of a new CDS tool for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) during virtual visits. This new CDS tool was developed through an iterative design process, and will be compared to an existing HFrEF CDS tool in a randomized pilot study at outpatient cardiology clinics throughout the UCHealth system.
