  • 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.
