Optimizing Heart Failure Medications in Denver

This study is looking at ways to help people with heart failure (specifically HFrEF, meaning your heart's pumping ability is reduced) get the most out of their medications. Many proven heart failure medicines are not used as much as they could be. This study will compare two approaches: either you'll have extra follow-up visits with a pharmacist who will help adjust your medications and provide simple education, or you'll receive standard care. The goal is to see if these extra pharmacist visits lead to more people starting or increasing their heart failure medications. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have HFrEF, and receive care within the DHHA system. You cannot join if you have severe kidney problems or cirrhosis, or if you cannot consent or speak English or Spanish. This study plans to enroll 40 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 40 participants. It will compare pharmacist-directed medication adjustments with standard care.
What's involved
Participants in the intervention group will have additional follow-up visits with a pharmacy between heart failure provider visits and receive specialized patient education. The primary endpoint is measured up to 3 months after enrollment.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main goal of the study is measured at each visit up to 3 months after you enroll.
