| ROUNDING UP THE LATEST ON PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES IN CARDIOLOGY |
|
|
New insight into depression and anxiety in cardiac rehab patients suggests a negative impact on outcomes, inspiring our Quality Matters News Brief to take a deeper look at the state of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in cardiac care. Plus, new research suggests TAVR outperforms surgery on patient-reported endpoints in low-risk patients. |

| Are patient-reported outcomes (PROs) the new "Gold Standard" in performance measures? Can these PROs actually REDUCE documentation time while increasing QUALITY?
"At present, programs such as the ones described here are concentrated within a small group of pioneers, but they have tremendous potential to be emulated and scaled. The task today is to ensure that governments and hospitals refocus the aims of their outcomes collection efforts to ensure that they prioritize its use to improve clinical care."

Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence Focuses on Outcomes to Improve Clinical Care
We at Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence understand that data shouldn't be collected just for the sake of it—but rather, specifically to improve clinical care.
Other accreditations do little to analyze what they collect or why, but ACE continues to invest in science to study our standards and our data's impact on clinical outcomes at a procedural level. ACE also uses the data we collect intentionally to support our accredited organizations in enacting or improving meaningfully on their quality improvement programs. Accreditation through ACE is not just another time-consuming check on administrative data, but an outcomes-focused, qualitative review that makes a difference. Learn more here » |
