This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
I-I-CAPTAIN-HF is testing two tools designed to help you and your doctor work together to optimize your heart failure treatment. Some patients will receive an educational video and checklist about heart medications before their appointments, doctors will receive alerts reminding them to prescribe guideline-recommended medicines, or both groups will receive both tools. The study involves about 2,200 patients at five major medical centers.
Many patients with reduced heart function aren't receiving all four key medications that doctors know help them live longer and feel better. This study aims to see whether patient education materials and automated reminders to doctors can close that gap and ensure more people get the full, proven treatment they need.

Depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, you may receive an educational video and checklist to review before your regular cardiology appointments, your doctor may receive alerts about recommended medications during your visits, or both. The study will track how these tools help you and your doctor manage your heart failure treatment over time. All participation happens during your regular clinic visits—no extra procedures or hospital stays are required.
