EHR alerts aim to close gap in heart valve care
NCT ID NCT06099665
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether automated alerts in electronic health records help doctors identify and treat patients with severe aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation. Over 2,100 patients were included, and some doctors received alerts while others did not. The goal was to see if alerts increase the number of patients who get a heart valve procedure or see a heart specialist, and whether this reduces racial, ethnic, and geographic gaps in care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Automated alert via electronic health record (EHR)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple computer alerts help doctors catch and treat severe heart valve problems earlier, especially in groups that often miss out on care.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, so results are known but not yet widely applied. Alerts may not change doctor behavior enough, or benefits may not hold across all hospitals or patient groups.
