INTRANET SYSTEM FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE PREVENTION

描述：心血管疾病(CVD)是老年人的头号杀手。 美国，不分性别或种族。医疗保健支出 在美国用于治疗心脏病的费用超过150美元 每年10亿美元。许多医疗保健组织正在寻求 寻找将不良疾病降至最低的医疗保健提供方法 通过使用成本高昂的疾病预防方法产生的结果，如心血管疾病 有效。此外，许多支付者迫切需要能够 可帮助确定提供的服务的价值，跟踪成本，以及 提供可用于比较所提供的相同服务的有效数据 由各种供应商提供。本提案设计并测试了 患者/临床医生心血管疾病特定内联网信息 心血管疾病管理/预防系统。这 基于Intranet/Web的计算机化患者信息采集系统 名为“我能预防心脏病”(互动式临床评估 预防心脏病网络)包含一个底层数据库，该数据库 将：a)拥有用于输入的高质量患者/临床医生界面 B)提供实时图形反馈以描述心血管疾病风险， 血压和锻炼等各种数据点的进展 使用患者输入的数据；以及c)提供快速和准确的 检索患者数据。该系统将提供自动交付 每次参与者登录到 系统来输入数据。此外，我们将确定互动是否 通过I Can预防心脏病系统：1)改变参与者 了解和改变心血管疾病风险行为的动机 减少；2)促进临床医生制定个性化的 降低心血管疾病风险的方法；以及3)协助临床医生监测 耐心的进步。最后，调查员将探索频率 患者可能会使用I Can预防心脏病系统进行交流 和他们的临床医生一起。 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer in the United States regardless of gender or ethnicity. Health care expenditures for the treatment of heart disease in the U.S. are in excess of $150 billion dollars annually. Many Health Care Organizations are searching to find approaches for health care delivery that minimize adverse disease outcomes such as CVD by using disease prevention approaches that are cost effective. In addition, many payers are in desperate need of tools that can help determine the value of services delivered, track costs, and provide valid data that can be used to compare the same service delivered by a variety of providers. This proposal designs and tests the utility of a patient/clinician cardiovascular disease specific Intranet information system for the management/prevention of cardiovascular disease. This Intranet/web enabled computerized patient information gathering system called "I CAN Prevent Heart Disease" (an Interactive Clinical Assessment Network to Prevent Heart Disease) contains an underlying database which will: a) possess a high quality patient/clinician interface for the input of data, b) provide real-time graphic feedback to depict CVD risk, progress in a variety of data points such as blood pressure and exercise using the data input by patients; and c) provide rapid and accurate retrieval of patient data. This system will provide an automated delivery of patient education materials each time the participant logs into the system to input data. In addition, we will determine whether interaction with the I CAN Prevent Heart Disease system: 1) alters participant motivation in learning about and changing behaviors for CVD risk reductions; 2) facilitates clinicians developing an individualized approach to CVD risk reduction; and 3) assists clinicians in monitoring patient progress. Finally, the investigator will explore the frequency patients might use the I CAN Prevent Heart Disease system to communicate with their clinicians. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE
