BACKGROUND: Optimal use of Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) is the cornerstone of reducing mortality and morbidity in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Interventions targeted at increasing GDMT use are necessary to improve outcomes. Integration of a pharmacist in specialty clinics may improve GDMT use; However, the potential benefit may be underrealized due to constraints in technology use and workflow.
PROJECT INTENT: To understand existing processes and explore workflow optimization opportunities to enhance use of GDMT prescription for patients with HFrEF.
METHODOLOGY: Teams of 2 researchers performed contextual inquiry4 during in-situ, 2-hour observations with 5 physicians, 3 …
