Heart doctors get quarterly email nudges to improve prescribing
NCT ID NCT07283666
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether sending cardiologists regular emails about quality goals helps them prescribe recommended medications for heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Researchers will track prescribing rates for 7,000 patients. The goal is to see if simple feedback can improve care without new drugs or procedures.
