Clinical Decision Support Systems and Prevention: A Community Guide Cardiovascular Disease Systematic Review
This systematic review examines the effectiveness of clinical decision support systems in improving screening and management for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, as well as practices for CVD-related preventive care services such as clinical tests and prescribed treatments. Throughout the 45 studies, improvements were seen for recommended screening and other preventive care services completed by clinicians, recommended clinical tests completed by clinicians, and recommended treatments prescribed by clinicians. Results were inconsistent for changes in CVD risk factors such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1C levels.
