• The PREVENT model showed moderate discrimination of ASCVD incidence in diverse health care systems.
• Calibration metrics varied significantly between different health care settings and patient backgrounds.
• Data obtained from four academic health care systems across the U.S. highlighted these disparities.
• Findings suggest that adjustments in the model are necessary to enhance accuracy across diverse populations.
