This study will evaluate if an intervention using academic detailing and audit and feedback impacts the specific pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead models implanted in Veterans.
This study will identify Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)-based cardiac electrophysiologists at three Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). Each cardiac electrophysiologist will participate in a videoconference during which time an academic detailing and audit and feedback intervention will be implemented, which will include details and recommendations about lead selection for implantation, based on cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED: pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator \[ICD\]) lead-specific failure rates for lead models currently available in clini…
Inclusion Criteria: * Department of Veterans Affairs-based cardiac electrophysiologists who implant cardiovascular implantable electronic devices at three Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) Exclusion Criteria: * Not willing to participate in the study
An academic detailing and audit and feedback intervention will be presented to VA cardiac electrophysiologists, and will include quantitative data about the individual physician's facilities cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead implants and national data on lead implants over the past year.
