No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this project is to increase the proportion of patients with AF that receive adequate stroke prevention therapy. Over half of patients with AF who suffer strokes are permanently disabled. Yet there remains a large portion of patients who do not receive appropriate stroke prevention therapy. The investigators hypothesize that a toolkit of quality improvement strategies in primary care could increase the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation appropriately treated with stroke prevention therapy. The investigators' goal is to ensure the toolkit of interventions can be easily incorporated into day-to-day practice in primary care and can be readily and broadly disseminated if successful.
