Patients without a primary care physician within the UPHS health system will receive direct outreach from the study team to invite them to schedule a visit with a lipid specialist for a formal evaluation of FH.

All eligible patients will be informed that they have been identified by the FIND FH tool as potentially having familial hypercholesterolemia. All patients will be invited to schedule a telehealth appointment with a lipid specialist for a formal evaluation for FH.

Inviting patients to complete a telehealth appointment with a lipid specialist for an FH evaluation

For patients with a primary care physician within the UPHS health system, their primary care physicians will be asked to review and sign physician referrals to a lipid specialist and invite patients to schedule a visit with a lipid specialist for a formal evaluation of FH.

For patients with a Penn PCP, we are testing a centralized referral mechanism to increase the number of referrals to preventive cardiology (default/opt out referrals)

For default/opt out: PCPs will receive a pended order for a referral for their patient to see a lipid specialist for a formal FH evaluation. Not interacting with the pended order or accepting the pended order will indicate that the referral to a lipid specialist should be placed.
