Health Care Management Science, 1998, vol. 1, issue 2, 95-100

Abstract: The population of Bury and Rochdale has a much higher rate of Coronary Heart Disease than the national average. This paper develops an approach, based on the Framingham score method, of making patients aware in a lucid manner of their risk of suffering a fatal heart attack by assigning them a position in a queue of people who are similar to them so far as non‐modifiable risk factors are concerned.
