PRagmatic Study Of Messaging to Providers of Patients With Heart Failure in Amsterdam UMC (PROMPT-HF-AUMC)

March 28, 2024 updated by: Prof. Dr. Folkert W. Asselbergs, Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)
This is a prospective cohort study, where we aim to investigate the effect of implementation of an electronic nudge alerting clinicians to the prescription of the 4 key pharmacological classes for the treatment of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) at the outpatient clinic in the Netherlands.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients with HFrEF

An algorithm will check if the patients if the patient has an age >18 year and is treated at the cardiology department for HFrEF. The use of GDMT is determined using prescriptions data EHR. If the patient does not receive treatment for all 4 drug classes (ACE/ARB/ARNi, beta-blocker, MRA, SGLT2-inhibitor), an electronic alert will be displayed suggesting the clinician to prescribe additional medication when clinically indicated, including relevant recent laboratory results (renal function and electrolytes) and other relevant measures (LVEF, blood pressure and heart rate). The alert is linked to an order set to aid in the prescription of GDMT according to current guidelines.

Results will compared to a retrospective cohort (t=-12 to t=-6) months, and a silent mode cohort (t=-6 to t=0 monthts, in which a paired and a before and after analysis will be performed to evaluate the effect of the alert.
