Absolute Event Rate: 23% vs 8.5%
p-value: p=<0.01
Implementing a computerized screening template in primary care significantly improves cardiovascular risk recording and early detection in patients with severe mental illness.
Yeomans et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Severe mental illness (n=1,631). Computer-based physical health screening template vs. Usual care (non-template-based physical health review) was evaluated on Recording of a data-rich QRisk2 cardiovascular disease risk score (p=<0.01). The use of a computerised physical health screening template increased the recording of data-rich cardiovascular risk scores to 23.0% compared to 8.5% with usual care.
