Evaluation of an Electronic Health Record-based Screening Tool for Peripheral Artery Disease
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate an EHR-based PAD Screening Tool
This protocol represents a pilot randomized-controlled trial evaluating the effect of an electronic health record (EHR)-based peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening tool on rates of new non-invasive testing, diagnosis and treatment of PAD over a 6-month period. An EHR-based PAD screening tool will be applied to the Stanford EHR, which will generate a group of patients of varying risks of having undiagnosed PAD. Patients with the highest risk of having undiagnosed PAD will then be evaluated for inclusion in this study. 1:1 randomization will be performed on a consecutive basis until study enrollment is completed (25 patients per arm).
Physicians of patients randomized to the intervention arm will be sent notification via an EHR message detailing the patient's risk of undiagnosed PAD and suggestions for referral to vascular medicine for risk assessment and/or non-invasive ankle brachial index (ABI) testing. The primary outcome is number of patients receiving ABI testing for PAD at 6 months, with secondary outcomes including number of new PAD diagnoses, number of new referrals to cardiovascular specialists (vascular medicine, vascular surgery, and/or cardiology) and number of patients receiving initiation of new cardiovascular medications (anti-platelet agents, statins, and/or antihypertensive agents).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: EHR Alert
Twenty-five participants who are flagged by the screening tool as having high risk of undiagnosed peripheral artery disease (PAD) will be randomized to have their primary care physician receive an electronic health record message regarding their high risk of having PAD and a recommendation will be made to have the participant referred for non-invasive testing called Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) testing to confirm diagnosis.
For individuals who undergo ABI testing and are confirmed to have PAD, they and their physicians will be provided with American Heart Association Guidelines for the management of PAD.
Each participant's medical record will be reviewed for 6 months to evaluate for referral for ABI testing, referral to cardiovascular specialists (vascular medicine, vascular surgery or a cardiologist), and for initiation of new cardiovascular related medications such as an antiplatelet, statins, or anti-hypertensive medications.

In this message sent via the electronic health record, a participant's primary care physician will receive a message that details the following:
|
NO_INTERVENTION: No EHR Alert
Twenty-five participants who are flagged by the screening tool as having high risk of undiagnosed peripheral artery disease (PAD) will be randomized to the control arm and they nor their physicians will be alerted of their status for 6 months.
Each participant's medical record will be reviewed for 6 months to evaluate for referral for ABI testing, referral to cardiovascular specialists (vascular medicine, vascular surgery or a cardiologist), and for initiation of new cardiovascular related medications such as an antiplatelet, statins, or anti-hypertensive medications.
At the end of 6 months of observation, the primary care physician's of control participants will receive the same alert as participants in the intervention arm.
