The primary goal of this study is to assess real-world effectiveness and implementation of an evidence-based multi-component strategy to achieve equity in the allocation rate of advanced heart failure therapies, heart transplants and ventricular assist devices. This study proposes to implement evidence-based strategies that reduce bias, replace subjective evaluations with objective criteria, and improve group dynamics in a randomized cluster trial. This rigorously designed trial may inform national guidelines for advanced heart failure therapy allocation, and data are likely to be generalizable to other organ replacement treatments and advanced chronic disease decision-making processes.

Primary | Proportion of evaluated minoritized racial/ethnic patients and women patients receiving advanced therapies. | Up to 3 years | ||
Primary | Change in SOCIAL HF fidelity from time of training completion (month 2) to time study target has been reached (up to 2 years) and 6 months after reaching study target (up to 2.5 years) | Evaluated as barriers, facilitators, and variability in adoption, reach, implementation and maintenance through structured interviews.
Study target is defined as time 50 patients of color and 50 women have been evaluated for advanced heart failure therapies per center. |
Month 2, up to 2 years, and up to 2.5 years | |
Secondary | Change from baseline knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behavior change among clinicians at 2 months and time at which study target has been reached (up to 2 years) | Multiple survey responses by participants will indicate knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behavior changes over time.
Study target is defined as time 50 patients of color and 50 women have been evaluated for advanced heart failure therapies. |
Baseline, 2 months, and up to 2 years | |
Secondary | Discussion themes during allocation meetings across patient race/ethnicity and gender | Transcriptions of meetings will be qualitatively evaluated over time. | Baseline, 2 months, and up to 2 years | |
Secondary | Change from baseline sum group function scores at 2 months and time at which study target has been reached (up to 2 years) | The de Groot Critically Reflective Diagnoses protocol objectively measures categories associated with group function including challenging groupthink, critical opinion sharing, research utilization, openness to mistakes, asking and giving feedback, and experimentation. Each category is scaled from 1-4 (high-low), 1 = demonstrating interaction and reflection, 2 = reflective on an individual basis, 3 = non-reflective and non-interactive, and 4 = restricted.
Study target is defined as time 50 patients of color and 50 women have been evaluated for advanced heart failure therapies per center. |
Baseline, 2 months, and up to 2 years | |
Secondary | Adoption of SOCIAL HF | Proportion of eligible advanced therapy professionals who participate in training | 2 months | |
Secondary | Reach of SOCIAL HF | Proportion of patients evaluated using any parts of SOCIAL HF | From 2 months up to 2 years | |
Secondary | Implementation of SOCIAL HF | Proportion of patients evaluated using all parts of SOCIAL HF | From 2 months up to 2 years |
