Electronic Health Record Augmented LDL-Cholesterol Optimization and Control Via Active Lipid Engagement (EHR-LOCALE): A Quality Improvement Implementation Study (EHR-LOCALE)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a proactive, EHR-guided approach helps more individuals reach safe cholesterol levels, improves medication use, and reduces future heart attacks and strokes, compared to usual care.
The main question it aims to answer is:
• Does the EHR-LOCALE pathway increases the proportion of patients who reach the LDL-cholesterol target of <1.8 mmol/L at 6 months?
Participants in the interventional group receive:
- Pharmacist contact
- Repeat lipid requisitions
- Review of medications, adherence, and side effects
- Treatment escalation according to national dyslipidemia guidelines

Detaillierte Beschreibung
After a heart event, such as a heart attack, many people never reach the cholesterol levels needed to lower their risk of experiencing another heart event even with good care. This research study is evaluating a new way to better support patients in reaching those targets. The EHR-LOCALE study uses Alberta's electronic health record (EHR) to automatically identify these individuals and offer them extra support. Those who are not at their cholesterol target are contacted by a pharmacist, who can order blood tests, review medications, and adjust treatment according to national guidelines.
This project tests whether this proactive, EHR-guided approach helps more patients reach safe cholesterol levels, improves medication use, and reduces future heart attacks and strokes, compared to usual care. Ultimately, it aims to make cholesterol management after a heart event more consistent, equitable, and effective.

Kein Eingriff: Usual Care
Participants in the usual care arm will have data collected (baseline demographics, medical history, laboratory values, medication usage and clinical outcomes) from their health record.
Usual care will include follow-up with their primary cardiologist, primary care physician, cardiac rehabilitation team and community pharmacy as per standards of care across Canada and the CCS Dyslipidemia Guidelines.
This data will include information regarding their cholesterol levels and cholesterol treatments received as per standard of care practices.

Aktiver Komparator: Quality-improvement intervention
Participants in the intervention will provide verbal consent to participate.
In addition to data collection, Pharmacist contact will occur monthly until their cholesterol levels at target or if they no longer wish to participate in the study, no further changes in medications will occur and no further follow-up is required.
Participation in the interventional arm can last up to 6 months.
