[The CARE (CArdiovasculaR prEvention) Score - an instrument for recording the quality of care of cardiovascular risk patients in the GP practice].

There is potential for improvement in the care of cardiovascular diseases in Switzerland, particularly when it comes to achieving target values defined in guidelines. Adherence scores such as the SGED score for diabetic care established in Switzerland can help to reduce the evidence-performance gap. The CARE score presented here is an adherence score that validly reflects the quality of care for patients with a cardiovascular risk using process and outcome indicators.
