Dashboard-Directed Intervention to Improve Guideline-Directed Heart Failure Therapy for Veterans
- dashboard-based intervention in a novel clinical-educational hybrid model
- single Veterans Affairs center
- weekly, half-day Heart Failure (HF) Dashboard Population Health Clinic
Authors' conclusion
The Dashboard Clinic is a viable and potentially effective intervention for GDMT optimization, providing a scalable blueprint for dashboard-directed care.
Study context
- Population
- Veterans with heart failure and gaps in guideline-directed medical therapy identified on the Veterans Affairs HF Dashboardpatients who received the Dashboard Clinic intervention over 1 year
- Participants
- 163 veterans
- Comparison
- Composite optimization score before vs after intervention

Further findings
| Outcome | Values | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Composite optimization score (patients who qualified for GDMT optimization, N = 107) · increased | before intervention 2.10 (SD 1.88) · after intervention 2.81 (SD 2.17) | P = 0.018 |
| OS of SGLT2i therapy (patients who qualified for GDMT optimization) · increased | before intervention 0.40 (SD 0.80) · after intervention 0.74 (SD 0.97) | P = 0.013 |
