 St. Vincent Evansville received the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) ACTION Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award. St. Vincent Evansville is one of only a select number of hospitals nationwide to receive the award.
“We are always striving to provide the best experience for our patients,†said Dan Parod, President, St. Vincent Southwest Region. “Recognition like this award confirms that we are continually leading the way in high quality heart care.â€
The Performance Achievement Award Program recognizes hospitals who have demonstrated top level performance in quality care and adherence to guidelines developed by the ACC. To reach the Platinum Performance Achievement Award, St. Vincent Evansville had to consistently follow treatment guidelines for eight consecutive quarters and meet a performance standard of 90 percent for specific measures.
The National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) collects from a wide range of clinical topics and cardiovascular procedures to help hospitals measure and improve treatment for heart patients. The ACTION registry is a risk-adjusted, outcomes-based quality improvement program that focuses exclusively on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
By participating in this registry, St. Vincent Evansville is able to retrieve real-time data and on-demand custom comparison reports, patient education resources and clinical toolkits to continue improving quality of care.
Registry data is also used in an online search-and-compare tool for patients and their families. This resource allows patients to find the care best for their heart health needs.
