Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Use in the VA System
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01217827
Purpose
Despite being a proven life-saving intervention in appropriately selected individuals,
multiple studies continue to demonstrate low implantation of defibrillators in potential
candidates. Based upon prior research, a major barrier to low utilization is low referral of
potential candidates by healthcare providers. In this study, via brief clinical reminder
placed in the electronic medical record, we ask healthcare providers who have not referred
potential candidates for defibrillator the reasons for this decision and provide them with
the tools for referral if appropriate.
