Summary

Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are poorly controlled even for patients who frequently visit their physician, leading to large numbers of preventable cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Research from integrated healthcare systems suggests that risk factors can be controlled better and treatment strategies for cardiovascular disease can be markedly improved by using a centralized cardiovascular risk service (CVRS) managed by pharmacists. The investigators are confident that a pharmacist-managed mHealth CVRS can become a strategy in un-integrated healthcare settings to markedly reduce cardiovascular events in the United States.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Pharmacist-led cardiovascular risk service (CVRS)

CVRS pharmacists will access the study database including patient baseline information obtained from the medical record and patient entered data to make their assessments and recommendations to onsite physicians and onsite clinical pharmacists and individualize their communication with patients. The intervention will provide patient-centered counseling and education to improve medication adherence, lifestyle modifications and/or smoking cessation. The CVRS pharmacist does not make changes to therapy independently but, rather, provides the physicians and on-site pharmacists with action plans and status updates about adherence to Guideline metrics, which should markedly reduce the gaps in guideline-concordant therapy that place patients at risk for CVD events.
