Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be a prospective randomized implementation trial for patients hospitalized with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus within Duke University Medical Center. The primary hypothesis is that a virtual quality improvement-based consult intervention will improve the rate of in-hospital evidence-based cardio-renal-metabolic medication use, particularly SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Approximately 200 patients meeting eligibility criteria will be included in the study. Patients will be assigned into study groups, as defined by randomization of their treating clinician team to receiving the virtual consult versus not.
