Improving 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease estimation management using a Smartphrase for automated risk screening.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in the United States, and 90% of cardiovascular events are preventable. The 2020 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease recommends 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimates for 40- to 75-year-old adults with CVD risk indications to decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular events.

Local Problem: At the project site, the 10-year ASCVD risk estimates were rarely completed by providers.
