ASCVD Case Study: From Guidelines to Gaps
Service: Strategic Learning Module + Gap Mapping
Client: Confidential (Healthcare education partner)
The Challenge
Despite strong clinical guidelines, LDL-C control remains suboptimal in high-risk ASCVD patients. Teams needed more than data—they needed a way to recognize why treatment gaps persist and how to begin closing them using system-aware strategy.
What We Did
-
Created a 75-minute eLearning module centered on real-world barriers to lipid-lowering therapy
-
Used CFIR and RE-AIM to surface delivery obstacles and workflow friction points
-
Highlighted misalignment between evidence and practice using real data
-
Positioned clinical inertia, underuse of statins, and system-level inertia as designable problems
Key Implementation Insights
-
Mapped barriers across patient, clinician, and system levels
-
Visualized missed opportunities in real-world care
-
Taught teams to view implementation failure through a strategic lens
-
Embedded behavior and system-thinking into every interaction
Outcome
The module equipped teams to move beyond the “what” of ASCVD care into the “why not yet”—framing nonadherence as a solvable delivery issue, not just a patient problem.
