Study Details

Brief summary:

  • The purpose of the study is to improve care for patients with high cholesterol.
  • If you choose to join the study, you will be asked to answer a phone call from study personnel. They will help you coordinate follow up appointments, review your medications and lab with you, and answer any questions you have about your medications. You will also continue to be seen by a clinical pharmacy team member. Your cholesterol medications may change to better lower your cholesterol. We will collect information about your visits, medicines, and cholesterol levels for 6 months.
  • If you choose not to participate, you will receive the same information and treatment at your next scheduled visit. You will receive the same care regardless of choosing to participate in the study.
  • Participation might involve a very low risk of some loss of privacy. There is low risk that someone outside the research study could see information about you.
  • A possible benefit is lower cholesterol.
  • Taking part in this research study is your choice. You do not have to participate, and you can stop at any time without any penalty.

Arms

Enrolled Patients

Adult patients (>18 years) who have seen a CommUnityCare provider in the previous 12 months at time of enrollment, who have a documented history of clinical ASCVD, and are not achieving LDL targets (either <55 or <70 mg/dL based on risk factors)

Interventions

Pharmacy Intern Counseling

The research intervention consists of outreach conducted by a Texas-licensed pharmacist intern under the supervision of CuC-employed pharmacists. Eligible patients will be contacted by a student pharmacist after the clinical pharmacists' appointment (described above in the standard of care) using CuC's RingCentral telehealth system. During this outreach, student pharmacists will review current lipid-lowering therapies, medication adherence, education about lipid-lowering therapies, and review of labs. Student pharmacists will not make independent prescribing or care decisions. All prescribing authority and therapeutic adjustments remain under the direction of CuC-employed pharmacists in accordance with the standard operating procedures. Patients will be informed about the research project during the outreach call or during a separate call dedicated to recruitment prior to the outreach call. Informed consent will be sent and obtained via either the EHR messaging system (MyChart) or text

Primary outcome measure

  • Percentage of patients at LDL target [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
