PREDICT Cardiovascular Disease Cohort in New Zealand Primary Care (PREDICT-CVD)
The PREDICT-CVD cohort was established in 2002 when a web-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment and management decision support system (called ‘PREDICT’) was developed for primary care. PREDICT is integrated with general practice electronic health records (EHRs) and incorporates data collection into clinical workflow. When clinicians use PREDICT during a patient visit, risk scores and evidence-based treatment recommendations tailored to the patient’s CVD and diabetes profile are computed and displayed. The PREDICT software was initially implemented in general practices in Auckland and is now available in approximately 35 to 40% of New Zealand primary care practices. These are mainly in the Auckland and Northland regions, serving around 1.6 million people and representing around 35% of the New Zealand resident population.
