Brief overview – IHD in VA IHD QUERI Update
• Productivity• Innovative projects• Extensive network of partners
Implementation Framework ≈ Strategic Plan (CART-CL=prototype)• Focus on systems of care
Ischemic Heart Disease
Acute IHD Care
Chronic IHD Care
Setting of care CCU, ED, Cath lab Clinic – primary care, cardiology
Providers Cardiologists Primary care, cardiologists
Approach High tech, invasive “Low” tech, behavioral
Population 11,000 AMI annually ~0.9-1.2 million
State of IHD Care in the VA
VA IHD Care Compared to non-VA
AHA Annual Statistical Update 2011
IHD-QUERI Accomplishments:Past 3 years
• 22 IHD QuERI-affiliated investigators• Funding
20 studies led by IHDQ-affiliated investigators during past 3 years with $7.5 million in funding, including 8 QuERI RRPs
Plus: CART development ($5.3 m) QIR ($240k) Patient-aligned Care Team national evaluation center ($990k)
• 77 publications (2008-2010)
Highlights of Recent IHD-QUERI Accomplishments
Examples• Cardiac Care Follow-up
Clinical Study (CCFCS)• Cardiovascular
Assessment Reporting and Tracking System (CART)

Actions Taken• New Chief Cardiology Consultant (Dr. Jesse)• National steering committee (including PCS,
operations, research, OQP)• VISN action plans• New performance measures• National training• Technical assistance projects• Major investment in new equipment• Updated clinical guidelines (with AHA/ACC)• National cath lab software package (CART-CL)
CCFCS: AMI mortality within VHA is comparable to Medicare-funded hospitals
Fihn SD, et al. BMC Cardiovascular Disease 2009
CCFCS: Potential for interaction between antiplatelet medication and PPIs
Ho PM, et al. JAMA 2009
Cardiovascular Assessment Reporting and Tracking System for Cath Labs (CART)
Missions of CART1. Clinical care2. Quality improvement3. Research
Current Status of CART(2004-2011; N=77)
CART: Innovative Program for Post-Market Device Surveillance
Coronary artery disease:i.e., acute coronary syndromes andTreatment including PCI

IHD QUERI Goals
Proposed projects
•Leveraging systems of care•Emphasis on effectiveness and safety•Team-based, patient-centered, coordinated care•Longitudinal care
Focus on systems of care and strategic partnerships as opposed to specific clinical conditions. Integrations with VHA strategic objectives.
Goal 1: Leverage information systems to improve quality and safety of care
1. Improve availability of timely clinical information at point of decision making
2. Track changes in quality of care and outcomes for AMI
3. Develop implementation tools and interventions at program level
4. Identify organization factors association with utilization of clinical data
Objective 1-1: Improve availability of timely clinical information at point of decision making
• Example: Appropriateness of PCI– Validate data elements in
CART needed to make appropriateness classification
– Assess variation in appropriateness of PCI
APCI-RRP and Bradley CDA
Objective 1-2: Track changes in quality of care and outcomes for AMI
• Longitudinal effectiveness and safety– Bleeding from triple
anti-thrombotic therapy– Prevalence, care, and
outcomes of newly diagnosed diabetes
– Clopidogrel use in CKD patients
IHAMI and CCFCS
Objective 1-3:Develop implementation tools and interventions
• Example: Reducing
radiation dose for invasive cardiac procedures– Develop toolkit to
reduce radiation used for invasive cardiac procedures
– Pilot test toolkit at 2 VA cath labs
Radiation-RRP
Objective 1-4: Identify organizational factors association with utilization of clinical data
• Example: ORCA– Prospectively validate
measure of organizational readiness to change against operationally-relevant outcomes
– Emphasis factors that are actionable
– Collaboration among 4 QUERIs
ORCA

Christian, can you spell out?
Goal 2: Improve cardiovascular risk factor management by integrating new programs into
evolving systems of care
1. Identify and understand differences in risk factor management and their causes
2. Identify organizational and contextual factors that influence risk factor management
3. Develop implementation tools and interventions at program level to improve care and efficiency
Objective 2-1: Understand differences in risk factor management and causes
• Determine BP and LDL control in year following catheterization among CAD patients
• Determine specific patient, provider, and system factors associated with BP and LDL control
Maddox CDA
Objective 2-2: Identify organizational and contextual factors that influence risk factor
management• Example: Organizational
correlates of medication adherence– Assess roles of organization,
provider and patient-level factors in medication adherence
– Specifically examines structural factors thought to improve adherence (e.g., pharmacy FTE)
OCAM
Objective 2-3: Develop implementation tools and interventions at program level to improve
care and efficiency
• Develop intervention toolkit
• Incorporates formative evaluation focusing on contextual factors
• Collaboration with Stroke QuERI
• Develop and test centralized call center to support SMILE-BP intervention
• Addresses needs of smaller facilities with limited resources
SMIIIR
SMILE-BPRRP
VALUE SDP
• Demonstrated telephone-based staged matched intervention improved BP control
IHD-QUERI Goals: Next 3-5 Years
Leveraging established platforms for current projects
