Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a growing health concern globally, with the number of cases increasing significantly over the past few decades. The prevalence of CVD has doubled from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019, and is expected to continue to rise to 23.3 million by 2030. This means that healthcare leaders need to take a strategic approach to support better outcomes for patients with CVD.
One way to do this is by utilizing the UpToDate Point of Care Report, which provides clinicians with the most 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 evident from 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.
