Addition of Cardiovascular Risk Calculator to Lipid Profile Results

Our providers currently have to manually pull out their phone and plug data in to an app to calculate a patients CV Risk off of their lipid panel/profile results. We would like to see a CV Risk Calculator built in to the lab system that would take the necessary info from the patients chart along with the lipid profile results and profile the CV calculated risk along with the results to the provider.

Alternatively to this, you could build in a calculator application and it could gather the information from throughout the chart and the provider could simply launch it and get the calculated risk score outside of the lab application. This might be simpler.

Our providers use the American College of Cardiology ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus app on their phones. It is free to download. It pulls in these pieces of info: Current age, Sex, Race, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP, Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, Hx of Diabetes, Smoker, On Hypertension Tx, On a Station, on Aspirin Therapy. Then produces a Lifetime ASCVD Risk % and an Optimal ASCVD Risk %.
