Abstract (type = abstract)
Project Purpose: The purpose of the project was to promote provider: 1) adherence to the 2018 ACC/AHA Cholesterol Management Guidelines with the use of the 10-year ASCVD risk score, and 2) utilization of the risk score to facilitate patient-provider risk communications.
Methodology: Following training sessions on the 2018 ACC/AHA Cholesterol Management Guidelines and integration of an ASCVD risk calculator into the EMR of a primary care practice in an urban community in Northern New Jersey.
Results: The project identified application of guidelines and utilization of the 10- year risk score in 35.8% of eligible patients, while those who engaged in a risk discussion rated the patient-provider interaction with high levels of confidence and satisfaction.
Implications: Findings from the project identify a continued need for organizational support to sustain the application of clinical guidelines including the utilization of the 10-year risk score needed to guide-patient provider discussions.
