LipidPlan in a Box is a toolkit designed to help doctors and healthcare teams improve cholesterol management. It provides practical tools to help clinics make small, steady improvements using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) method. This method allows practices to test and refine changes over time, leading to better care for patients with heart disease. The toolkit offers ready-to-use strategies but can also be customized to help more patients reach their cholesterol goals and reduce their risk of heart attacks and strokes. Learn about ASCVD and Cholesterol Management – Understand why controlling LDL-C (bad cholesterol) is important in preventing heart disease, strokes, and other serious health issues. Explore the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Method – Discover how this quality improvement (QI) approach helps healthcare teams make small, steady improvements in patient care.
The intern will gain an understanding of the system operations and patients at the practice. The intern will conduct database searches to detect existing patients who meet the criteria for the program and liaise with internal stakeholders and patients to gather data and promote the LipidPlan in a Box toolkit. The intern will monitor and update the LipidPlan in a Box database and follow step-by-step guides, templates, and resources to test strategies for better cholesterol management in a healthcare setting.
