Using ACCEPT System, most high risk patients can be treated successfully to LDL goal.
The above slide shows how NJ Preventive Cardiology compares to 4 other compliance studies. Physicians can improved their performance and treat more high risk patients to goal.
Dr. deGoma believed that one of the reasons for poor physician performance is the lack of a practical clinical management to treat a large group of high risk patients to a specific numerical target goal rather than just treating symptoms. He essentially commissioned himself to develop a system for his own use which evolved to become a practical clinical management system - the ACCEPT System. ACCEPT stands for A Cholesterol Clinic in Every Practice because he strongly believes that the only way to treat the more 40 million Americans eligible for treatment is for every adult medical practice to become a basic cholesterol clinic. Physicians can be taught how to use ACCEPT and treat more patients successfully.
The two slides above are stacked together to compare NJPC and L-TAP performance data.
The result is a significant reduction in cardiovascular events in our practice which started to become apparent after only 3 years.
