CVD Risk Assessment Measure – Proportion of Pregnant/Postpartum Patients That Receive CVD Risk Assessment with a Standardized Tool

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) implemented and tested a CVD risk assessment algorithm that can be integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) system that immediately identifies patients who are at increased risk for CVD. The unit of measurement is individual patients, and the population will include any patient who has a prenatal or postpartum visit in the hospital system. This includes pregnant and postpartum emancipated minors.

CVD Risk Assessment Measure- Proportion of Pregnant/postpartum patients who receive CVD Risk Assessment with a standardized tool

The CVD Risk Assessment Measure represents the proportion of pregnant and postpartum individuals assessed for CVD risk using a standardized tool at the clinic and facility levels of health care service delivery. The CVD risk assessment identifies pregnant and postpartum individuals without an existing CVD diagnosis who may have cardiovascular disease (CVD) or are at an increased risk of developing CVD, thus necessitating further evaluation.

CVD Risk Follow-up Measure - Proportion of patients with a positive CVD risk assessment who receive follow-up care

All pregnant and postpartum patients need to be systematically assessed for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Once identified as being at risk for CVD follow-up cardiac tests and consultations are scheduled. UCI implemented and tested a standardized CVD risk assessment algorithm that can be integrated into the EHR system and provides an immediate triage of patients as low and high risk for CVD.
