Summary

This completed study looked at whether clinical decision support systems (CDSS) built into electronic health records help doctors better follow guidelines for chronic heart failure. Researchers analyzed data from over 66,000 patients in Russia, checking if the system increased use of key diagnostic tests like BNP/NT-proBNP and echocardiography. The goal was to see if digital reminders can improve detection and management of heart failure in routine care.
