Implication
Supports adoption of electronic pre-visit activation tools in HFrEF clinics; extends evidence for patient-engagement interventions targeting GDMT intensification.
Structured PICO
Does an electronically delivered patient-activation tool improve clinician intensification of GDMT in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?
P
Population
Patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
I
Intervention
Electronically delivered patient-activation tool before a cardiology clinic visit
O
Outcome
Clinician intensification of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT)
Electronic patient-activation tools prior to clinic visits can effectively increase clinician intensification of GDMT in HFrEF.
