Kidney-Attributable CV Risk Flag for Cardiology

A clinical decision-support app, built on the SMART on FHIR plug-in standard for major EHRs, that reads creatinine/eGFR labs already in cardiology workflows and flags patients whose reduced kidney function places them in a group with elevated cardiovascular risk — impaired kidney function accounts for 11.5% of cardiovascular deaths at the population level. It does not compute a personal risk percentage; it makes an overlooked lab value visible as a modifiable CV risk factor and links it to a guideline action such as a kidney-protective therapy review. First users are population health managers and cardiology service-line directors at health systems with value-based care contracts.
