Official title
Identifying Predictors of Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Testing in Primary Care and Implementing a Novel-intervention to Improve Uptake
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to improve how primary care providers identify and manage patients at risk for heart disease. One tool that can help with this is a coronary artery calcium (CAC) test, which looks for calcium buildup in the heart's arteries and can help estimate a person's risk of future heart problems. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Will a new electronic health record (EHR) alert that provides guidance on when to consider a CAC test be feasible and acceptable to primary care providers? Does the alert change how often providers order CAC tests, start or change the dose of cholesterol-lowering medications, and refer patients to cardiology? In this study, a new EHR alert will be implemented as part of routine clinical practice for primary care providers at Weill Cornell Internal Medicine Associates (WCIMA). The alert will provide guidance on considering a CAC test, cholesterol-lowering medication, or referral to cardiology for eligible patients. Researchers will compare clinical care before and after the alert is implemented. They will look at how often CAC tests are ordered and completed, how often cholesterol-lowering medications are started or their doses are changed, and how often patients are referred to cardiology. After the implementation period, primary care providers will also be asked to complete a brief survey and participate in an interview about the alert.
