DASH-HF Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients with perceived gaps in performance measures for guideline-directed medical therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction will be chart-reviewed and called impromptu to receive point of care medication titration or reintegration into routine heart failure clinic. Patients lost to follow-up may be better identified using the HFrEF panel management tools.
Group II: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
A control group of patients with HFrEF will receive routine primary and cardiology care as currently indicated in routine scheduled clinic grids. Patients are at the discretion of their primary care and cardiology clinicians regarding whether further HFrEF optimization is warranted. While panel management data is available to all clinicians, clinical workflows and responsibilities do not encourage the use of panel data or response to performance measurement for HFrEF.
