The Fight Against Cardiovascular Disease: Harnessing Technology for Improved Patient Care Outcomes

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has more than doubled worldwide in the past few decades, with an estimated 523 million cases in 2019. By 2030, this number is expected to reach 23.3 million, making CVD a major global health crisis. In response to this growing problem, healthcare leaders need to take a strategic approach to support better outcomes for patients with CVD.

One effective way to do this is by utilizing the UpToDate Point of Care Report, which provides clinicians with up-to-date information and resources to improve patient care and education. Clinicians are increasingly seeking more information and support to enhance their CVD patient care practices, as evidenced by the 7% year-over-year increase in the usage of UpToDate® for cardiovascular clinical decision support (CDS).

By providing clinicians with the necessary tools and resources, healthcare leaders and administrators can play a crucial role in improving patient health outcomes and reducing the burden of CVD. With UpToDate Point of Care Report, they can access the latest research, guidelines, and best practices for managing CVD patients, enabling them to make informed decisions that will ultimately lead to better patient care and improved health outcomes.
