NCT ID NCT07714239
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual team of clinical pharmacists and cardiologists can help doctors prescribe the right heart failure medications for Veterans. Many patients do not receive all recommended drugs at effective doses after a hospital stay. The team reviews patient records and sends recommendations to treating providers. The goal is to increase use of guideline-directed therapies that improve survival and reduce hospitalizations.
