Multi-Center Project: Building Electronic Tools To Enhance and Reinforce CArdiovascular REcommendations - Heart Failure

Description

This study will test an automated, electronic health record (EHR-)embedded alert to improve prescribing of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The investigators have previously tested and implemented this alert at NYU Langone Health (NYULH), and will now test and implement this alert across three other health systems.
