CDC - Prevention Status Reports (PSR) - Heart Disease and Stroke - STLT Gateway

CDC - Prevention Status Reports (PSR) - Heart Disease and Stroke - STLT Gateway



Heart Disease and Stroke

PSR | 2013



The Prevention Status Reports highlight—for all 50 states and the District of Columbia—the status of key policies and practices that state health departments can use to reduce heart disease and stroke, including
This report focuses on policies and practices recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force, the US Surgeon General, and the Institute of Medicine on the basis of scientific studies supporting their effectiveness in the management of heart disease and stroke risks.1–3


Policies & Practices

Implementation of electronic health records

An electronic health record (EHR) is a real-time, digital, patient-centered record that replaces paper charts. The US Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthcare providers use government-certified EHR systems “meaningfully” by focusing on such aspects as engaging patients in their own care, sharing information among healthcare organizations, and providing support for decisions on national high-priority conditions.5
It is hoped that if healthcare providers meet such “meaningful use” criteria, it will lead to 1) creation of tools that measure healthcare quality to improve clinical and population health, 2) increased transparency and efficiency, 3) individuals empowered to access clinical information, and 4) more robust research data on health systems.5
EHRs should include clinical decision supports, such as alerts for elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels based on laboratory results, to support guidelines-based clinical decision making.6–9 Implementation of EHRs that meet meaningful use capabilities allows healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, nurses, pharmacists) to monitor the health of their patients proactively by tracking, in electronic form, heart disease and stroke risk factors.

Status of state implementation of electronic health records, United States (as of December 2012)


Bar chart showing Status of state implementation of electronic health records, United States (as of December 2012). Green: In 2 states, 31.0%–45.0% of office-based physicians met criteria for meaningful use of electronic health records. Yellow: In 31 states, 16.0%–30.9% of office-based physicians met criteria for meaningful use of electronic health records. Red: In 18 states, 0.0%–15.9% of office-based physicians met criteria for meaningful use of electronic health records. (State count includes the District of Columbia.)

Pharmacist collaborative drug therapy management policy

Collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM) is team-based care managed by both a pharmacist and prescribing provider. Evidence shows that pharmacists are effective team members in managing control of chronic disease risk factors such as high blood pressure and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.1,2,9 A CDTM policy is a state legislative, regulatory, or other written policy that authorizes qualified pharmacists working within the context of a defined protocol to perform patient assessments; order drug therapy-related laboratory tests; administer drugs; and select, initiate, monitor, continue, and adjust drug regimens.10
State CDTM policies can increase medication adherence rates and improve health outcomes (e.g., reduced hemoglobin A1c, lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, fewer adverse drug events).1,2,9

Status of state pharmacist CDTM policies, United States (as of December 31, 2012)


Bar chart showing Status of state pharmacist CDTM policies, United States (as of December 31, 2012). Green: 34 states had a statewide pharmacist CDTM policy for all health conditions. Yellow: 9 states had a statewide CDTM policy authorizing pharmacists to collaborate but not for chronic diseases, or the policy limited collaboration to specified hospital, medical, or clinical practice setting. Red: 8 states did not have a statewide pharmacist CDTM policy. (State count includes the District of Columbia.)
