Why the study?
Does the implementation of computer-based clinical decision-support systems improve actual prescribing of ACEIs/ARBs in inpatients with heart failure?
Does the implementation of computer-based clinical decision-support systems improve actual prescribing of ACEIs/ARBs in inpatients with heart failure?
Implementation of clinical decision support systems improved documented compliance with heart failure core measures by increasing documentation of contraindications, but paradoxically decreased actual ACEI/ARB prescribing.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Alerts may inflate core measure compliance without raising ACEI/ARB prescriptions; leaves open CDS effects on actual HF therapy.
Caraballo et al. (2013) studied this question.
