A UT Southwestern Medical Center quality improvement team led a large-scale, multispecialty project in partnership with the Parkland Center of Innovation and Value to help patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) better understand their devices and make choices about their care. The findings, published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, highlight how a structured approach to patient education can empower individuals to discuss their treatment options with providers and ensure care aligns with their goals, particularly near the end of life.
