Descripción detallada
The use of clinical pharmacists in primary care has improved the control of several chronic cardiovascular conditions. However, many private physician practices lack the resources to implement team-based care with pharmacists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a centralized, remote, clinical pharmacy service could improve guideline adherence and secondary measures of cardiovascular risk in primary care offices in rural and small communities.
This study was a prospective trial in 12 family medicine offices cluster randomized to either the intervention or usual care. The intervention was delivered for 12 months, and subjects had research visits at baseline and 12 months. The primary outcome was adherence to guidelines, and secondary outcomes included changes in key cardiovascular risk factors and preventative health measures. We enrolled 302 subjects.

Experimental: PHCVRS intervention
Each participant will receive communication with a clinical pharmacist for 12 months to decrease risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

¿Qué mide el estudio?
Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Adherence of medical regimen/treatment to all of the Guideline Advantage criteria that apply.
Periodo de tiempo: 12 months for each participant
|
The primary outcome measure was adherence to the GA criteria as a surrogate for quality of care because each subject had varying gaps in guideline-concordant care, depending on their specific cardiovascular conditions and preventative care needs.

- Study protocol and manuals
- Subject brochure and subject handout
- Case report forms (baseline and 12 month follow up)
- Summary of data redactions

All dates will be converted to days or months from a reference event; no text will be included (e.g., comments).
Marco de tiempo para compartir IPD
Criterios de acceso compartido de IPD
All reviews for data are coordinated by BioLINCC and are performed by the NHLBI Data Repository Program Officer. The review includes:
- Appropriateness of the proposed research for the dataset(s) being requested
- Completion of the IRB requirements to obtain the datasets.
Requests that include datasets must have IRB approval (waiver, expedited review, convened review). Some datasets require that the researcher's IRB provide an expedited (Chairman) or convened review for the proposed project. In these cases, an IRB approval is needed because although obvious identifiers have been redacted, the wealth of individual level data that remain (demographic, anthropometric, medical history, personal history, outcomes) means that the possibility of direct identification of a study subject cannot be eliminated.
Consult the BIOLINCC website (https://biolincc.nhlbi.nih.gov/home/) or access the handbook at https://biolincc.nhlbi.nih.gov/media/guidelines/handbook.pdf for more information.
