Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether an electronic alert in a patient's medical record can prompt doctors to prescribe guideline-recommended heart failure medications that are not yet being used. The trial includes 5,000 adults with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction (≤40%) seen at Inova clinics or hospitals. Half of the doctors will receive the alert when they open a patient's chart; the other half will continue with usual care. The goal is to see if the alert increases the number of patients on appropriate medications within 30 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Best practice advisory alert via electronic health record
What this could lead to
If effective, this alert system could help more heart failure patients receive life-saving medications, potentially reducing hospitalizations and deaths.
What could go wrong
The alert may not change prescribing habits, or doctors might ignore it. The study only measures short-term outcomes (30 days), so long-term benefits are unknown.
