Prompts/Reminders to Improve Healthcare Delivery

Prompts and reminders can improve healthcare delivery and engagement

Resources Available

PROMPT-LIPID:
Shah, Nimish N et al. “Rationale and design of a pragmatic trial aimed at improving treatment of hyperlipidemia in outpatients with very high risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A pragmatic trial of messaging to providers about treatment of hyperlipidemia (PROMPT-LIPID).” American Heart Journal vol. 253 (2022): 76-85. doi:10.1016/j.ahj.2022.07.002

PROMPT-LIPID Resource:
The PROMPT-Lipid Resource reviews the study design of the PROMPT-Lipid trial and its primary and secondary outcomes. It provides key insights on how real-time, targeted alerts have the potential to enhance quality of care for patients with cardiovascular disease. The trial, which included 2,500 patients and 96 providers, found that prescribers who viewed the Best Practice Alert (BPA) were 42% more likely to intensify LLT than usual care.

Patient Materials:

Attack Heart Disease
This website is dedicated to educating very high-risk ASCVD patients about the dangers of high LDL-C (bad cholesterol). It includes valuable information about cholesterol, questions for patients to ask their doctors, tips to manage their LDL-C levels to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The PARC (Patient Activation Research Community)
An educational platform designed to empower individuals living with or at risk for serious disease

Offers online community support, education, surveys, quizzes, polls, and shared decision-making tools for users to take an active role in their healthcare journey.
