ACTION Registry-GWTG Mission Lifeline STEMI Summit Sioux Falls, SD November 4, 2010 How Will We Measure Our Success If You Don't Measure It, You Can't Improve It!
Susan Rogers RN, BSN, MSN Associate Director ACTION Registry-GWTG Nothing to Disclose
Objectives 1.Verbalize the history of the ACTION Registry-GWTG 2.Describe the tools available in the ACTION Registry-GWTG 3.Describe the ACTION Registry-GWTG recognition process
Purpose of ACTION Registry-GWTG National surveillance system for high-risk AMI patients admitted with STEMI/NSTEMI: –Assess characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of this patient population –Optimize outcomes and management of AMI patients through implementation of ACC/AHA evidence-based guideline recommendations in clinical practice –Facilitate efforts to improve quality and safety of ACS patient care; and investigate QI methods
The History Behind the ACTION Registry-GWTG ACTION Registry transitioned from CRUSADE and NRMI Registries January 2007 ACTION was established May 2008 ACTION merged with AHA GWTG CAD to become ACTION Registry-GWTG Dec. 31, 2009 GWTG CAD sunset Current membership of 640 Hospitals Over 205,719 records submitted
Inclusion Population Acute Myocardial Infarctions-STEMI & NSTEMI only Patient must present to 1 st Facility with symptoms of ACS, within 24 hours of arrival Patient must have positive ECG- ST elevation, new LBBB, or documented Posterior MI OR Positive Biomarkers- Troponin or CK-MB Transfer In patients- STEMI must arrive within 72 hours, NSTEMI within 24 hours If presents with any other symptoms, or procedures, the patient is excluded
Acute/In-hospital Measures Aspirin Arrival STEMI - Any reperfusion (PCI or Lytic) STEMI - Lytic -Door to Needle (Median Time and % <30min) STEMI - PCI – D2B (Median Time and % <90min STEMI - D2B Transfer in (Median Time) LVSD Evaluation Discharge Measures Aspirin B-blocker ACE or ARB (EF <40%) Statin for LDL ≥100mg/dL Smoking cessation (among smokers) Cardiac rehabilitation Performance Measures
Quality Metrics ACTION Metrics Door to EKG (within 10 min) STEMI- Acute ADP Receptor Inhibitor Therapy within 24 hours of arrival_ Revascularized Patients Discharged on ADP Receptor Inhibitors ADP Receptor Inhibitors Prescribed at Discharge for Medically Treated Patients LDL assessment (in-hospital) NSTEMI - Excessive Initial UFH Dosing (>70 U/kg bolus, >15 U/kg/min infusion Excessive Initial Enoxaparin Dosing (SQ >1.05 mg/kg) Excessive Initial GP IIb/IIIa Dosing (Full dose Tirofiban if CrCl<30& Full dose Eptifibatide CrCl <50, or dialysis with either) STEMI - Anticoagulant- UFH, enoxaparin, bivalarudin or fondaparinux (first 24 hours) Aldosterone Blocking Agents at Discharge (EF<40%, with DM, or HF)
Premier vs. Limited Detailed
ACTION Registry-GWTG Premier Full ACTION Registry-GWTG data set Complete quarterly Outcome Report for benchmarking Report on 17 Core Performance Measures Report on 12 Quality Metrics Sites will be eligible for Higher level of Recognition Program
ACTION Registry-GWTG Limited 50% of full ACTION Registry-GWTG data set Limited quarterly Outcome Report for benchmarking Report on 17 Core Performance Measures Report on 7 Quality Metrics Lower level of Recognition
Limited and Premier Forms 140 fields in Limited vs. 280 fields in Premier –Simple/Average patient fields vs in Premier –Complicated patient fields vs in Premier –Non PCI centers 60 fields vs. 100 in Premier Either form is available to all ACTION Registry- GWTG participants Strongly encourage participants to use Premier data set, especially PPCI capable centers
Limited Form: Pros and Cons Pros Fewer Data Elements Less time required for data abstraction and entry Accommodating for Non PCI Centers Great form for new sites to start Cons No Excessive dosing Reports for Anticoagulants Lower Level of Recognition Limited Quarterly Outcomes Report Data not available to allow Physicians to participate in PACE project
Premier Form: Pros and Cons Pros Detailed Quarterly Excessive Dosing Reports for Anticoagulants Higher level of Recognition Robust Data Set Full Quarterly Outcomes Report Required if Physician participating in PACE PI-CME project Cons More time required for data abstraction and entry Answering fields that are less likely to pertain to Non-PCI Centers
Acute/In-hospital Measures Aspirin Arrival STEMI - Any reperfusion (PCI or Lytic) STEMI - Lytic -Door to Needle (Median Time and % <30min) STEMI - PCI – D2B (Median Time and % <90min STEMI - D2B Transfer in (Median Time) LVSD Evaluation Discharge Measures Aspirin B-blocker ACE or ARB (EF <40%) Statin for LDL ≥100mg/dL Smoking cessation (among smokers) Cardiac rehabilitation Performance Measures
Site Specific Quarterly Reports Composites (12 months) –Percent of compliance –Benchmark National Line graphs (12 months) –Breakdown Quarterly performance Tables (Quarterly, 12 months) –Benchmark Like Hospitals, National, Top 10% –All AMI details, and side by side STEMI and NSTEMI –Overall AMI Subgroups- Compares composites by race, gender, age, transfer and non-transfer, DM and non-DM, CrCl patients
