OBJECTIVES: To implement and evaluate a multifaceted QI intervention using EHR tools to improve quality measurement (including capture of contraindications and patient refusals), make point-of-care reminders more accurate, and provide more valid and …

  • Electronic Health Record-Based Cardiac Risk Assessment and Identification of Unmet Preventive Needs

    Stephen D Persell, Alexis P Dunne et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009References: 23

    BACKGROUND: Cardiac risk assessment may not be routinely performed. Electronic health records (EHRs) offer the potential to automate risk estimation. We compared EHR-based assessment with manual chart review to determine the accuracy of automated cardiac risk estimation and determination of candidates for antiplatelet or lipid-lowering interventions. METHODS: We performed an observational retrospective study of 23,111 adults aged 20 to 79 years, …
