Heart failure & cardiomyopathiesRandomised controlled trial
Electronic health record alerts for management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in hospitalized patients: the PROMPT-AHF trial
- Randomised controlled trial
- pragmatic
- multicentre
- Electronic health record (EHR)-based
Authors' conclusion
A real-time, targeted, and tailored EHR-based alert system for AHF did not lead to a higher number of overall GDMT prescriptions at discharge.
Study context
- Population
- Patients hospitalized for acute heart failure, automatically enrolled 48 h after admission
- Participants
- 1,012 patients
- Comparison
- EHR alert vs no alert
- Primary endpoint
- Increase in the number of GDMT prescriptions at discharge
- Follow-up
- Discharge
