Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Learning Community (CRRLC)
The goals of this project are:
- Form a Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Learning Community;
- Electronically collect and analyze data on trajectories of hypertension and LDL-cholesterol control, antihypertensive and hypolipidemic drug prescription and fulfillment data, and relatively mutable and relatively immutable factors associated with hypertension and LDL control;
- Develop a system for electronic feedback of aggregate data to compare clinic performance and of patient-level data to assist care providers in focusing their efforts in improving blood pressure and LDL control; and
- Assess incidence and changes in blood pressure and LDL control before and after implementation of feedback to calculate sample size for a randomized controlled trial.
1. Translation of the JNC7 and NCEP guidelines into electronic algorithms for use of data electronically extracted, transformed, and loaded from the EHR suitable to produce patient-specific, point of care decision support and audit with feedback for both timeliness of measurement and control of blood pressure and LDL.
2. Modification of Wilson Pace’s aggregation of individual ICD-9 codes into comorbidity clusters for use in risk-adjustment of blood pressure and LDL timeliness of measurement and non-control
