Evaluating the Reach of Clinical Decision Support for Patients With Heart Failure
University of Colorado, Denver

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.

Interventions
The new, iteratively designed clinical decision support tool includes the traditional CDS along with links to supportive tipsheets, which include one for providers on how to add an order for patients to upload vitals in their electronic health record, and one that walks patients through how to upload vitals on their own.
The traditional CDS tool is the usual care intervention, and does not include links to tipsheets to support virtual patient care.
