Summary

The evaluation of chest pain in the primary care office is a challenging problem, with many patients suffering from missed diagnoses of acute myocardial infarction and many other low risk patients receiving unnecessary evaluations. This project will provide primary care physicians evaluating patients complaining of chest pain with computerized alerts that differentiate high-risk patients from low risk patients, and provide individualized evaluation and treatment recommendations.

Electronic risk alerts

Electronic risk alerts within the electronic medical record system will automatically calculate a patient's Framingham Risk Score during office visits for chest pain. These alerts will recommend electrocardiogram performance and aspirin therapy for patients with Framingham Risk Score at least 10%, and will recommend against exercise stress testing for patients with a Framingham Risk Score less than 10%.
