WHY CVDACTION?
THE CHALLENGE
Millions of people are missing treatment that could save their lives.
Many people with conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and kidney disease are not on the treatments NICE recommends.
-
1 in 3 people with high blood pressure don't have it under control.
-
1 in 6 people at risk of a second heart attack or stroke aren't taking statins.
-
Two thirds of people with chronic kidney disease, diabetes or heart failure don't receive the medicines they need.
A NATIONAL PRIORITY
The NHS has set the direction. Now it needs to be delivered.
The Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework makes a step change in these treatments a national priority. Every Integrated Care Board will be expected to deliver it.
The national ambition is to cut deaths from cardiovascular disease by a quarter in ten years. That won't happen without a step change in how these conditions are treated.
THE REAL PROBLEM
The problem isn't knowing what to do. It's being able to do it.
Primary care teams know the guidance, but real-world practice makes it hard to follow consistently:
-
Consultations are complex. Most patients have several conditions, and time is short.
-
The conditions are silent. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and kidney disease often have no symptoms, so nothing prompts the patient to come back.
-
Recall systems don't prioritise. QOF recall isn't designed to find patients who are under-treated.
-
Real-world problems need real-world solutions.
OUR APPROACH
CVDACTION is built to turn data into action.
We designed CVDACTION around the two things primary care needs most.
1. Data that tells you what to do
CVDACTION doesn't just produce more lists. It finds every patient who is missing recommended treatment, looks at all their conditions together, and puts them in order of priority. Your team can then focus on the patients who will benefit most, within the capacity you have.
2. Support to make it happen
Insight alone doesn't change outcomes. Our implementation support helps teams build new ways of working, so improvement lasts beyond go-live.
