This initiative supports a real-world study of practice and physician prescribing patterns and a quality improvement initiative evaluating best practices (including clinical decision support, facilitated referral to cardiometabolic team-based care model, and general educational tools/resources) to im-prove use of guideline-directed therapeutics known to lower cardiovascular risk (CV) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

This implementation strategy will include the clinician education of the previous arm and apply "audit and feedback" of prior care to inform recommendations for future care. These suggestions will encompass 5 different domains based on eligibility and potential opportunity for an SGLT2i, GLP-1RA, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)/angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB), antiplatelet or antithrombotic therapy, and statin therapy. The incorporation of clinical decision support technology will be utilized to identify tailored opportunities for each CV risk reduction based on guideline recommendations for individual patients. Clinicians will be presented prompts with patient-specific recommendation(s) for further optimization of cardioprotective agents. These prompts will be conveyed by a Study Coordinator to responsible clinicians. The follow-up clinical prompts will be based on auditing of updated clinical parameters and medication use.
Each site will have access to clinicians caring for patients in structured, multidisciplinary cardiometabolic centers. Clinicians caring for patients randomized to this intervention strategy will receive a facilitated referral via the EHR together). If the clinician approves the referral, the patient will be referred to this local team-based comprehensive risk factor management clinic. All patients randomized to this group will be considered in this group whether or not a visit to the cardiometabolic center is completed.
