A cadre of experts in quality improvement, evidence-based practice,
survey and sampling methodologies, collection of race and ethnicity
data, and other areas are working with a team from each site
to utilize quality improvement methods to improve care for minority
patients with cardiovascular disease. Additionally, each site
is being assessed in terms of its readiness for change, is creating
a Cardiovascular Improvement Plan to guide its quality improvement
activities, and creating a work plan to guide their Community
Demonstration projects.
Sites have received training in and use uniform methods
to collect and submit standardized race and ethnicity specific
data on a select uniform set of metrics. Surveys of patient
experiences are being collected and analyzed for the sites'
use and for evaluation purposes. The data is charting sites'
progress and allowing for quality improvement interventions
using Rapid Cycle Change techniques.
