This project will assess virtual care's impact on cardiovascular disease risk management in community health centers and the role of patient-facing clinical decision support tools during the pandemic. Specifically, it investigates how the shift to virtual care (VC) affects cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management; the shift’s impact on existing health disparities in vulnerable populations; and whether CVD care in VC can be enhanced by the use of patient-centered clinical decision support tools.
