The Bridges to Excellence programs for Diabetic and Cardiovascular health dictate that a cardiovascular assessment be performed on patients using the Pooled Cohort Risk Assessment tool.

American Diabetes Association (ADA) and ACC/AHA 2015 guidelines recommended that all diabetic patients age 40-75 have their 10-year cardiovascular risk assessed using the Pooled Cohort risk calculator.

We can access this risk assessment calculator though Powerchart.

· With patient chart open, click Clinical Calculator from left menu
· Click Cardiology (you can choose to set this as a default if you wish)
· Click ACC/AHA 2013 Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
· Fill in information then click Copy to Clipboard

· Once you open the Powernote, decide where you want to insert the information.
· Click OTHER to open a free text box. Right click & paste the assessment.
· You will want to remove the References from the text. You can also remove the answers
you filled in and simply leave the title of the assessment and the result.

In this example, the assessment result is inserted into the Review/Management section
