OPTIMIZE PAD-1: Implementation of Vascular Care Team to Improve Medical Management of PAD Patients
Patients with PAD and elevated LDL-C who are cared for at the University of Colorado (UC) and who provide consent will be randomized 1:1 to Intervention A, a vascular care team approach including pharmacy and healthcare provider assistance with medication adherence, versus Intervention B consisting of standard care augmented with a single consultation with a Vascular Medicine physician who will provide the treating doctor with a personalized risk assessment for the patient and a summary of the 2018 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guideline on Management of Blood. 1 There will also be an observational cohort (registry) to understand current practice patterns and outcomes in a non-interventional PAD population within the UC Health system in order to assess the potential impact of Intervention A after conclusion of the randomized study.
