Resource: Workflow, Protocol, and Clinical Decision Support for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment (PDF, 190 KB, 1 page)
This one-page workflow chart and decision aid helps primary care practice staff collect and track data so clinicians can determine patients’ risk of cardiovascular events such as a heart attack or stroke. By providing an example of workflows that identify and engage patients not receiving evidence-based care, this resource helps practices implement Key Driver 5: Engage with patients and families in evidence-based care and quality improvement.
