Investigating the Impact of Nudging Cardiologists to Prescribe Guideline-directed Medical Therapy in Heart Failure Patients

This study investigates the impact of a nudge-based intervention on improving guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) prescription among cardiologists. Using a stepped wedge randomized controlled trial design, we assess whether digital decision support-leveraging home monitoring and clinical data-enhances adherence to guideline-recommended medication titration. The primary outcomes include HF related hospitalization rates and all cause mortality.
