New Clinical Decision Support Resources

New Clinical Decision Support Resources Can Help Deliver Preventive Health Information to Patients

AHRQ has released three new preventive health clinical decision support (CDS) resources that can be implemented in a patient-facing platform, such as a patient portal or health and wellness app. The resources are based on recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Paired with implementation guides and a report on pilot testing, the resources are designed to help deliver patient-specific, preventive health information about abnormal blood glucose and type 2 diabetes screening, healthful diet and physical activity for heart disease prevention in adults, and statin use for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults.
