In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this implementation trial is to learn if providing education to doctors and patients who have had a heart event works to prevent future heart problems. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does educating the doctors in a health system improve how often patients in the hospital for a heart event have their cholesterol checked? 2. Can a "care champion" who calls patients who have been discharged from the hospital after a heart event help patients to achieve their cholesterol goals? Researchers will compare the number of people who achieve their cholesterol goals with the help of the care champion to the number of people who did so without the intervention to see if the care champion works to help patients lower their cholesterol. Participants will: Complete two 15 minute surveys over the phone - 1 at enrollment and 1 at the end of the study 6 months later.
