Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: In-Basket Message groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Providers will receive a monthly in-basket messages linking to a list of patients who have been seen in the past 2 months or will be seen in the upcoming month with HFrEF who are not on MRA (and who do not have contraindication to MRA). This list will display each patient's current hFrEF therapies, EF, blood pressure, potassium, glomerular filtration rate, date of last visit, and date of next visit. From the list, providers can access the patient's chart, order medications, and document communication with the patient.
Group II: Best Practice Alert groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Providers will receive a BPA at the time of visit for patients with HFrEF who are not on MRA (and who do not have contraindication to MRA). This alert will display the patient's current HFrEF therapies, EF, blood pressure, potassium, and glomerular filtration rate. The alert will give access to an outpatient heart failure order set, and also provide links to the most recent guidelines.
Group III: Control groupActive Control1 Intervention
Patients who will receive the current standard practice of care (no BPA or in-basket message)
