Brief summary
The overall objective is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the Corrie Lipids Program, a comprehensive digital health initiative designed to address critical gaps in lipid-lowering as a component of ASCVD treatment by delivering an intervention that combines a patient-facing smartphone app, clinician education and coaching, and seamless incorporation into clinical workflows. Researchers plan to assess this multicenter digital health initiative in approximately 1,000 adults with uncontrolled LDL-C and elevated ASCVD risk using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. The study will examine whether the program improves LDL-C goal attainment, app engagement, prescribing patterns, and LDL-C monitoring, while also identifying barriers and facilitators to implementation across sites.
Interventions
The Corrie Lipids Program is a digital health initiative for adults with uncontrolled LDL-C and high ASCVD risk. It includes a smartphone app for LDL-C tracking, medication reminders, and education, along with clinician education and support to improve guideline-directed lipid management.
