Abstract
Background: Get With The Guidelines (GWTG) is a national initiative of the AHA to improve the quality of heart failure (HF) care. One metric of quality is the percentage of patients who receive all guideline indicated care for which they were eligible. We studied trends in this complete care metric over the initial year of GWTG-HF. Methods: GWTG employs a collaborative model of care and a web-based patient management tool. We evaluated 18,516 HF patients treated at 97 GWTG-HF hospitals from 1/05–3/06.
