Summary

This study tests two simple tools to improve medication use in people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). One tool is a short animated video and checklist sent to patients before a clinic visit to encourage them to discuss their medications. The other is an alert that pops up for doctors during the visit, reminding them to prescribe or adjust key heart failure drugs. The goal is to see if these tools help more patients get the right medications at the right doses.
