February Health Observation: Heart Health Month

Every health observance we create is meaningful. This February, however, National Heart Health Month demands attention—because the data is loud.  

It tells a story we can’t afford to ignore:  

  • Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States
  • 1 person dies from cardiovascular disease very ~34 seconds
  • Cardiovascular disease costs the U.S. ~418 billion per year in healthcare spend and resources  

The longer we wait, the more lives—and dollars—are lost.  

Employers, advisors, and health plans are in a unique position to change this. And Springbuk helps you know exactly where to start.  

Our platform puts gaps in care insights, custom reporting, and predictive analytics at your fingertips—so you can bypass the guesswork and step into action

Has your population had avoidable admissions for CHF?

Hospitalizations for heart failure and diabetes cost the United States over $14 billion annually, yet many of these hospitalizations are considered potentially preventable hospitalizations.

Avoidable admissions for CHF are an important metric to assess how well your condition management initiatives are working.

See if your members have had avoidable admissions for heart failure by going to the Insights tab in the Springbuk platform.

Are your members compliant with national guidelines?

Hospitalizations for heart failure and diabetes cost the United States over $14 billion annually, yet many of these hospitalizations are considered potentially preventable hospitalizations.

Heart failure patients who receive standard processes of care develop fewer complications than those who do not.

From Insight to Impact: Health Intelligence in Action

You’ve explored the tools—now make them work for you. Dive into the following curated resources to experience the power of actionable insights and amplify the impact they can deliver for your population.

Insight:  2026 Go Red for Women® Elevates Women’s Heart Health

The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® campaign emphasizes women’s cardiovascular risk and encourages national participation in National Wear Red Day® (February 6, 2026) to increase awareness of the No. 1 killer of women.

Actionable Opportunity: Use Springbuk to create a female cardiovascular‑risk cohort using Optum Symmetry ETG/ERG groupers, stratify them by risk score, and target those with Gaps in Care (missing lipids, BP checks, postpartum follow‑ups) during your internal Go Red campaign.

Insight: SHRM + AHA + Deloitte Highlight Employer Responsibility in Heart‑Health Equity

The AHA/Deloitte/SHRM workforce equity collaboration outlines how inequities in access to preventive care influence chronic disease burden—and provides employer strategies to close those gaps.

Actionable Opportunity: Use Springbuk’s CDC Social Vulnerability filters + Gaps in Care intelligence to identify populations with lower screening completion (lipids, BP) and deploy targeted outreach to close documented disparities.

Insight: Hypertension Control Remains the Most Impactful Prevention Lever

Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, and only 1 in 4 have it controlled—making hypertension the highest‑value opportunity for reducing heart‑disease risk.
CDC workplace guidance prioritizes BP control as a core employer strategy.

Actionable Opportunity: Use Springbuk risk scoring to identify members most likely to progress to severe hypertension complications, then use Gaps in Care to target overdue BP checks or follow-up visits with precision.

Insight: Cholesterol Management Is Foundational to Heart Disease Prevention

CDC workplace prevention guidance emphasizes cholesterol screening and LDL management as critical employer-led strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Actionable Opportunity: Use Springbuk to build a hyperlipidemia cohort, apply risk scoring to identify rising‑risk members, and use Gaps in Care to target overdue lipid panels with timely interventions.

Insight: Cardiac Rehabilitation Improves Outcomes but Is Underused

Coordinated cardiac care models—including cardiac rehabilitation—support improved recovery and long-term outcomes.

Actionable Opportunity: Identify cardiac‑event members using Condition Group filters inside Springbuk, then use Gaps in Care to flag those missing recommended cardiac rehab and prioritize them by risk score for targeted navigation.

Insight: CPR & AED Readiness Reduces Preventable Deaths From Cardiac Arrest

AHA encourages CPR training and readiness as part of American Heart Month (“Nation of Lifesavers”).
The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation promotes increased bystander CPR and AED use.

Actionable Opportunity: Use Springbuk to identify high‑risk departments based on cardiac‑related Condition Groups and strategically target those groups for CPR/AED training to strengthen workplace readiness.
