Computer alerts aim to tackle America's silent cholesterol crisis
NCT ID NCT05088759
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple computer alert can help doctors better manage cholesterol in patients with heart disease. The alert pops up in the patient's electronic health record when their 'bad' cholesterol is too high, suggesting specific medication changes. Researchers are enrolling 400 patients, both in the hospital and in clinics, to see if this reminder system leads to more appropriate prescriptions and lower cholesterol levels.
