The global prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased dramatically in recent years, with healthcare leaders facing the challenge of improving patient outcomes. From 271 million cases in 1990 to 523 million in 2019, CVD is projected to reach 23.3 million by 2030, accounting for 31.7% of all deaths worldwide by that year.
In response to this growing issue, clinicians are seeking more resources to enhance their CVD patient care and education. This is evident from the increase in the utilization of UpToDate® for cardiovascular clinical decision support (CDS) on a yearly basis, which has seen a 7% growth rate. There is a clear demand for tools that can help healthcare professionals make more informed decisions and provide better care to their patients.
Healthcare leaders and administrators play a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by the rising prevalence of CVD. By equipping clinicians with the necessary tools and resources, they can lead the way towards improving patient health outcomes and reducing the impact of CVD globally. The UpToDate Point of Care Report is a valuable resource that can help healthcare organizations develop a strategic approach to managing CVD and support better patient outcomes.
