CDRIntell is also used to profile the population against CHD Risk (Framingham and UK-PDS). As a result
of CDRIntell data structures and generic development approach, new risk algorithms may be readily deployed
and maintained within CDRIntell. For example, provided PCTs can document a set of rules for categorising
patients, Health Intelligence can readily establish and maintain "need levels" e.g. within the pyramid of
need and can calculate risks such as the risk of an in-patient stay in the next 12 months.
The Hot List Facilities of CDRIntell support the creation of one or more cohorts of patients of interest for
review or intervention. This is a powerful facility and may be used, along with the reporting services to
create a set of patients that require an intervention, e.g. one CDRIntell report may detail patients who are
not being prescribed the relevant drugs following an MI. Another report may detail those who smoke and by
combining the Hot Lists you can get a list of those people who have had an MI, smoke and are not on the recommended
drug therapy.
These Hot Lists may be produced at all levels, e.g. by a Practice, by a PBC or the Care Trust (provided consent
considerations are appropriately addressed).
