An Implementation Model for Clinical Decision Support for Heart Failure Prescribing

The objective of this proposal is to compare clinical outcomes, implementation metrics (i.e., patient reach and clinician adoption), and clinician preferences of two designs (customized vs. commercial) of a clinical decision support (CDS). Beta blocker prescribing for patients with heart failure will be used as a test case. The best practices in CDS design, including the user‐centered design will be incorporated into the customized CDS and compared to a commercially‐available CDS in the electronic health record using a cluster randomized trial.
