<\/a>\nCardiovascular disease affects nearly half of American adults, with one in four adults living with high cholesterol. The new model replaces older calculators that overestimated heart attack and stroke risk by 40-50%, and now includes chronic kidney disease as a risk factor for the first time. Clinicians were using the features live in Elation Health's EHR just 10 days after the guidelines were released on March 23, 2026.<\/p>
\nElation drew on its Clinical Insights<\/a> foundation, powered by Anthropic\u2019s Claude for Healthcare<\/a>, to bring PREVENTTM<\/sup> into clinician workflows quickly and safely. With Claude\u2019s tools and skills framework, Elation authored and ran more than 2,000 automated tests to ensure its implementation matches the American Heart Association\/ACC model and can be updated rapidly as guidelines evolve. In this setup, Claude AI tools accelerate development and quality assurance, while PREVENTTM<\/sup> remains a transparent, guideline-based calculator executed programmatically by Elation\u2019s EHR.<\/p> \n\"Primary care clinicians are on the front lines of prevention. Medicine moves fast, and when new clinical guidelines come out, they need technology that responds right away. We\u2019re leading the market by setting a new standard for modern primary care technology,\" said Kyna Fong, CEO and co-founder of Elation Health. \"Independent practices often don't have the resources to quickly adopt new standards. We integrated PREVENTTM<\/sup> in days so they didn\u2019t have to wait. This isn\u2019t just software that supports their work, it\u2019s a platform that supports clinical excellence alongside them. When physicians can access the best tools, they can deliver better care for their patients.\"<\/p> \nClinical Insights<\/a> synthesizes dense, longitudinal patient data\u2014including problem lists, medications, recent visit notes, labs, vitals, and immunizations\u2014into concise summaries with clear citations back to the chart for improved trust and traceability.<\/p> \nFor the new PREVENTTM<\/sup> integration, Clinical Insights can now:<\/p> \n\"Cardiovascular risk assessment is fundamental to adult primary care, but online risk calculators forced us to stop what we were doing, manually transfer data from the EHR into external tools, and then copy results back into the chart,\" said Dr. Sara Pastoor, head of primary care advancement at Elation Health. \"Having PREVENTTM<\/sup> built into Elation saves me 3 to 5 minutes per calculation, and spares me a lot of friction. Those minutes add up, as does the sense of relief. It seems small, but it is delightful little improvements like these that help ease the administrative strain that drives burnout.\"<\/p> \nPREVENTTM<\/sup> is currently available to all Elation practices with Clinical Insights for no additional cost. The PREVENT\u2122 equations are available for licensing by other qualified organizations under the American Heart Association\u2019s open-source license agreement.<\/p> \nAbout PREVENT\u2122<\/b><\/p> \nThe PREVENT\u2122 equations were developed by select members of the American Heart Association Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Scientific Advisory Group. The risk equations were derived and validated in a large, diverse sample of over 6 million individuals. [1], [2]<\/p> \n[1] Khan SS, Matsushita K, Sang Y, et al.
