质量的研究 and 出版物

The American Heart Association^®/American Stroke Association^® (AHA/ASA) collects millions of patient records in our Quality Programs, creating vast national level databases for advancing scientific research. Data is collected at the patient level in hospitals participating in AHA/ASA Quality programs. Patients entered in the database are from U.S. 医院只有. Data is patient- and hospital-de-identified at an aggregate level. Our quality programs include 遵循指导方针^® ”(GWTG) In-Patient and 使命:生命线. A key component of these continuous quality improvement programs is the collection of data that participating hospitals can use for their own quality improvement efforts - See 医院水平研究. There is also the opportunity for some scientific research from our 国家级数据库.
