Clinical Trial Summary

The trial will examine whether a centralized Prevention Health & Cardiovascular Risk Service (PHCVRS) run by clinical pharmacists at the University of Iowa can be implemented in primary care offices and whether it can improve the care delivered to patients at risk for developing cardiovascular disease.


Clinical Trial Description

The use of clinical pharmacists in primary care has improved the control of several chronic cardiovascular conditions. However, many private physician practices lack the resources to implement team-based care with pharmacists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a centralized, remote, clinical pharmacy service could improve guideline adherence and secondary measures of cardiovascular risk in primary care offices in rural and small communities.

This study was a prospective trial in 12 family medicine offices cluster randomized to either the intervention or usual care. The intervention was delivered for 12 months, and subjects had research visits at baseline and 12 months. The primary outcome was adherence to guidelines, and secondary outcomes included changes in key cardiovascular risk factors and preventative health measures. We enrolled 302 subjects. ;
