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.
Department of Veterans Affairs-based cardiac electrophysiologists who implant cardiovascular implantable electronic devices at three Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs)
Not willing to participate in the study
Single group
Academic detailing and audit and feedback intervention
Other interventionAn 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.
Proportion of cardiovascular implantable electronic device leads that are of the lead model with the lowest failure rate
This outcome will be the proportion of cardiovascular implantable electronic device leads implanted in the 3 months post-intervention that are of the lead model with the lowest failure rate. The failure rates for the lead models will be available from VA data.
