Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether interactive voice response (IVR) technology can be used to bring post discharge care for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) closer to best practice guidelines (BPGs).

The study hypothesis is that ACS patients who are contacted by IVR technology will be more likely to receive care as recommended in the BPGs than those followed by usual care.

IVR group

Patients in this arm will receive IVR follow-up telephone calls at 1,3,6,9 and 12 months post-discharge consisting of predetermined questions related to medication management, smoking cessation, diet, exercise and education as recommended by the ACC/AHA BPG for ACS. Upon completion of the IVR follow-up, all patients will be called by a member of the clinical research staff and asked to complete a follow-up survey.
