The number of cases of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been steadily rising globally, with an estimated 23.3 million people expected to be affected by it by 2030. This increase in cases is a significant concern for healthcare leaders, as CVD is responsible for 31.7% of all deaths worldwide. In response to this growing health crisis, healthcare organizations need to take a strategic approach to better support patients with CVD.
One such approach 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 evidenced by 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.
