AHA, ACC expand two hospital-based CVD initiatives to outpatient care
Larry Husten, PHD
The AHA and the ACC are now collecting data from physicians’ regular office visits with patients as part of a new push to improve the quality of cardiovascular patient care, reports the Wall Street Journal. The new initiatives hope to expand on the successes of the AHA’s “Get With the Guidelines” hospital program and the ACC’s hospital-based National Cardiovascular Data Registry.
