HHQI’s Progressive Cardiovascular Learning & Action Network

In support of your cardiovascular health improvement efforts, HHQI invites home health agencies and

other stakeholders to join the new Progressive Cardiovascular Learning & Action Network (CardioLAN).

The CardioLAN is a diverse group of individuals from various healthcare organizations – such as home

health agencies, professional associations, and QIN-QIOs – who share a commitment to improving

preventive cardiovascular care.

When you join the CardioLAN, your organization will be recognized on the HHQI website for your

commitment to improving your patients’ cardiovascular health. Joining the CardioLAN also provides

increased support from HHQI and networking opportunities through free monthly teleconferences and

webinars that focus on cardiovascular topics and resources.

The CardioLAN is an exclusive benefit of HHQI campaign participants, so you must be registered with

HHQI in order to join the CardioLAN. Registration is quick and free, and participation requires only as

much time as you can spare. Just follow these easy steps.

If you’re new to the HHQI National Campaign:

Step 1: Visit www.HomeHealthQuality.org.

Step 2: Click on the Registration tab in the menu across the top of the page and

complete the form. If you are a CMS-reporting home health agency, you’ll need

your Medicare provider number or CCN. When you click Submit, you’ll be asked if

you’d like to join the CardioLAN.

If you’re already participating in the HHQI National Campaign:

Step 1: Log in at www.HomeHealthQuality.org with the username and password that you
