Mortality Statistics• Over 450,000 people suffer from recurrent coronary attacks
each year.
• Within 1 year of a recognized MI 25% of men and 38% of women will die
• 100,000 recurrent strokes occur each year
• Within 1 year of a stroke 22% of men and 25% of women will die
• 14% of stroke survivors will experience a recurrent stroke within 1 year.

Bridging the Gap
• Systems to Translate Efficacy Effectiveness
SYSTEMS• Outcomes associated
with an intervention under ideal circumstances– Clinical trial
reported in literature
– Benchmarking
EFFICACY EFFECTIVENESS
• Outcomes associated with an intervention in the real world – Hospital– Outpatient– Across
Continuum
Bridging the Gap Between Efficacy and Effectiveness
The Gap
L-TAP survey showed– 95 % of PCPs are aware of NCEP guidelines– 18 % of their CAD patients at goal
* Treatment Patterns and Distribution of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Treatment-Eligible United States Adults, Hoerger et. al. American Journal of Cardiology 1998; 82: 61-65
The Gap
NHANES III data* reveals– 28 % are eligible for treatment based on NCEP II– 82 % of those with CHD are not at NCEP II goal
for LDL– 65 % of patients eligible for treatment are not
receiving therapy
* Treatment Patterns and Distribution of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Treatment-Eligible United States Adults, Hoerger et. al. American Journal of Cardiology 1998; 82: 61-65
The Gap
QAP Data - Community based Cardiologists– 30-40 % Documented Treatment Rate Treatment Gap of 61 % Provider awareness does not result in
successful implementation
* Treatment Patterns and Distribution of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Treatment-Eligible United States Adults, Hoerger et. al. American Journal of Cardiology 1998; 82: 61-65
The Gap
ACC Evaluation of Preventive Therapeutics (ACCEPT) Data– 20-25 % Documented Treatment Rate – Treatment Gap of 80 %
- Hospital data (N=50) 1996-97
NRMI 3 Data - 6/00 37 % of Post-MI patients discharged on a statin
(N = 101, 294)
The Barriers
Physician Barriers• Attitudes
Agreement with specific guidelines Agreement with guidelines in general Outcome expectancy (performance of recommendations will not
lead to desired outcome) Self-efficacy (physician believes he cannot carry out
recommendations) Motivation (habits/routines)
From Cabana et al. JAMA. 1999; 282:1458-1465.
Physician Barriers
• Behavior Patient factors (patient preferences vs. recommendations) Guideline factors (complexity, conflicting recommendations) Environmental Factors
• Lack of time resources• Financial disincentives • Organizational constraints
From Cabana et al. JAMA. 1999; 282:1458-1465.
The Solution
Get With The Guidelines
Prospective intervention process in the hospital setting, designed to significantly increase CHD and Stroke discharge treatment rates.
1. Supports system improvements for CHD and Stroke patients
2. Encourages links between cardiologist/
neurologists and primary care physicians
3. Provides resources to build consensus and establish and execute protocols
Implement discharge protocols in hospital setting
Implemented by AHA Staff/Volunteers who will mobilize networks at the Local level
Implement CME-driven educational programsIdentify best practices for AHA recognition
awardsDevelop and disseminate reports and
publicationsMeasure changes and report outcomes dataDrive impact into communities
What is Get With The Guidelines?
1999 - New England Affiliate of the AHA launches “Get With the
Guidelines” Pilot
Best Practice - Pilot
1996 - QAP participant
1997 - Nurse based lipid
clinic
1998 - QI initiative at Memorial
Hospital
American Journal of Cardiology - February 10, 2000
Get With The Guidelines - Pilot
• AHA New England Affiliate - Merck, PRO Partnership
• 85 of the regions’ 160 acute care hospitals currently participating
• All three of the PRO’s using the process for 6th scope of work implementation of AMI, CHF, Atrial Fibrillation indicators

Incentives for Change
• Prevention is Cost Effective Quality Care Risk Sharing and Capitation provide
economic incentives Our patients will demand it Accreditation agencies will require it
• It’s the right thing to do!

How it’s being used:
• On-line completion at discharge on the floor
• Paper form follows patient on front of chart and entered on-line at discharge.
• Used as a QI tool with frequent reports to relevant departments, (also meet include AMI and CHF JCAHO core measure requirements).
