Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is on the rise globally, with healthcare leaders facing the challenge of ensuring better patient outcomes. The prevalence of CVD has doubled from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019, and is expected to reach 23.3 million by 2030. It is projected that CVD will account for 31.7% of deaths worldwide by 2030, highlighting the urgency for a strategic approach to tackling this growing issue.
Clinicians are seeking more resources to enhance their CVD patient care and education, as shown by a 7% increase in the utilization of UpToDate® for cardiovascular clinical decision support (CDS) on a yearly basis. This demonstrates the 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 supporting their care teams 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.
