Computer coach helps doctors stick to heart guidelines
NCT ID NCT05367141
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a computer program (Clinical Decision Support System) helps doctors follow official treatment guidelines for patients with both high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). Researchers compared clinics using the program to those providing standard care. The goal was to see if the tool improves how well doctors follow guidelines and, in turn, patient health outcomes.
