title: Sophisticated decision-support tools stay one step ahead of CVD.
abstract: Decision-support tools help providers put the focus on prevention. Cardiovascular disease is the nation's number one killer, and complications from this disease cost the health care system billions each year to treat. However, CVD can often be prevented if persons at risk are identified early so that interventions can begin. To assist providers in this process, a Longwood, FL-based company has unveiled two new tools designed to simplify risk identification and streamline patient tracking procedures so that providers can keep close tabs on care quality and patient progress.
