The University of California, Irvine (UCI) implemented and tested a CVD risk assessment tool that immediately identifies patients who are at increased risk for CVD or developing CVD. This tool can be integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) system.
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.
This measure identifies patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on anticoagulation for at least 3 months after the diagnosis
