Brief summary

A pragmatic, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a heart failure (HF) risk assessment and prevention strategy incorporating HF clinical risk scores (WATCH-DM) with cardiac biomarker (NT-proBNP) paired with a clinical decision support tool to implement an intensive prevention strategy among patients with high risk focused on implementation of evidence-based HF preventive therapies.

Detailed description

Primary care providers will be randomized to receive notifications via the electronic health record if any patients with diabetes have high heart failure risk based on a combination of clinical risk scores(WATCH-DM), and biomarkers (NT-proBNP). Providers will be provided recommendation to initiate evidence based therapies (SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP1 agonists, non-steroidal MRA) , obtain expert e-consultation, or refer the patient to a cardiometabolic risk management program.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALIntensive Prevention Strategy

Providers randomized to the intensive prevention strategy will receive notification about patients with diabetes who have high heart failure risk and recommendations for medical management, e-consultation, or referral to a cardiometabolic risk management program.
