Key Points Question Does a clinical decision support system (CDSS) proven to reduce cardiovascular risk in integrated care settings also reduce cardiovascular risk in community health centers? Findings In this cluster randomized clinical trial of 18 578 eligible patients, although CDSS adoption rates were low, CDSS use was associated with significantly improved reversible risk of cardiovascular disease among patients with the highest levels of baseline risk. Meaning The use of a CDSS in community health centers has the potential to improve reversible risk of cardiovascular disease among socioeconomically vulnerable high-risk patients; strategies to increase CDSS adoption in this setting are needed.
