AI Article Synopsis
- - The CARE-FH study at Geisinger aims to enhance the identification of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) by integrating diagnostic evaluations into primary care settings, focusing on early detection before cardiovascular diseases develop.
- - The study employs implementation science to develop and apply strategies based on evidence-based guidelines, ensuring clinicians are well-equipped to diagnose FH effectively.
- - The project is conducted in two phases: the first focuses on designing the trial and developing strategies, while the second assesses the rollout of the intervention across various medical fields and evaluates its impact on diagnostic rates and health outcomes.
Article Abstract
The Collaborative Approach to Reach Everyone with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (CARE-FH) study aims to improve diagnostic evaluation rates for FH at Geisinger, an integrated health delivery system. This clinical trial relies upon implementation science to transition the initial evaluation for FH into primary care, attempting to identify individuals prior to the onset of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events. The protocol for the CARE-FH study of this paper is available online. The first phase of the project focuses on trial design, including the development of implementation strategies to deploy evidence-based guidelines. The second phase will study the intervention, rolled out regionally to internal medicine, community medicine, and pediatric care clinicians using a stepped-wedge design, and analyzing data on diagnostic evaluation rates, and implementation, service, and health outcomes.
