Other items with lower baseline implementation, such as liver disease and cholelithiasis, also showed numerical improvement.

More results

After training, 60% of HCPs incorporated the VALORA checklist into routine practice, and overall satisfaction was high (86.7% very or totally satisfied).

Ease of use was rated positively by 96.7% of HCPs, with 70% preferring an interactive digital format and expressing interest in automated risk assessment and contraceptive recommendations.
