  | Focus on Quality One of the many ways we promote healthier lives is by supporting healthcare professionals’ quest for continuous quality improvement. Our suite of quality programs puts up-to-date treatment guidelines, tools and resources to work in hospitals and outpatient practices across the nation. Get With The Guidelines® is a program that helps ensure consistent application of the most recent American Heart Association/American Stroke Association scientific guidelines for patient treatment. The program includes in-hospital modules for heart failure, stroke and resuscitation as well as a program for outpatient practices. The American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Outpatient has become The Guideline Advantage™ in collaboration with American Cancer Society and American Diabetes Association. Mission: Lifeline® is a national, community-based initiative created by the American Heart Association to improve systems of care for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The program focuses on streamlining and coordinating processes to help speed the delivery of appropriate treatment. Target: Heart Failure is an initiative that provides healthcare professionals with content-rich resources and materials designed to help them advance heart failure awareness, prevention, treatment and recovery. Target: Stroke is a campaign created to help hospital teams achieve the goal of door-to-needle (DTN) times of 60 minutes or less for ischemic stroke patients that receive thrombolytic therapy by providing evidence-based strategies, clinical decision support, measurement tools and other resources.   | |
