(It replaces the old Cardiovascular Risk calculator.) The screenshots currently in this article apply to Profile 10.0.11. - This calculator is available only in New Zealand. - An HPI Facility ID (assigned by Health NZ) is required in the HPI Facility Id field on the Reference tab when editing the POS. - The user must have a Provider Number applied to their record. - The eMessage Service must be installed and the API Key entered for the eMessage service. This API key is given to Intrahealth by Health NZ. Speak to your Intrahealth Customer Service Representative to arrange for this to be configured for you. # How to Calculate CVD Risk This section describes how to complete a CVD risk assessment from a New Encounter. :::::WorkflowBlock :::WorkflowBlockItem Navigate to **Clinical / Calculators / Cardiovascular Risk**. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click the **Start CVD Risk Assessment **button. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/H83KyHvGKXrNP15SgjqvE_wa90ljsycnaqovelkpwfcaw9eshfudla6g.png) ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem On the **Home **page of the assessment form, tick any conditions that apply to the patient. ::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/OKBNXScKc0nBhgT4e6a96_xzeneju2kp9jywvtzkfwbqwcdrhmmy652g.png" size="94" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/XZENeJU2Kp9JYwVtZKFWbQWCDRHMmY652g.png" githubPath="en/Results and Measures/Measures/assets/XZENeJU2Kp9JYwVtZKFWbQWCDRHMmY652g.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem Click the **Next **button to move to the next page. ::: :::WorkflowBlockItem The **Demographics **page is auto-populated with the patient's demographic data where it exists, and all fields are mandatory on this page.
