Nothing to Disclose
Objectives
1. Verbalize the history of the ACTION Registry-GWTG
2. Describe the tools available in the ACTION Registry-GWTG
3. Describe the ACTION Registry-GWTG recognition process
Purpose of ACTION Registry-GWTG
• National surveillance system for high-risk AMI patients admitted with STEMI/NSTEMI:
– Assess characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of this patient population
– Optimize outcomes and management of AMI patients through implementation of ACC/AHA evidence-based guideline recommendations in clinical practice
– Facilitate efforts to improve quality and safety of ACS patient care; and investigate QI methods
The History Behind the ACTION Registry-GWTG
• ACTION Registry transitioned from CRUSADE and NRMI Registries
• January 2007 ACTION was established
• May 2008 ACTION merged with AHA GWTG CAD to become
ACTION Registry-GWTG
• Dec. 31, 2009 GWTG CAD sunset
• Current membership of 640 Hospitals• Over 205,719 records submitted
Inclusion Population• Acute Myocardial Infarctions-STEMI & NSTEMI only
• Patient must present to 1st Facility with symptoms of ACS, within 24 hours of arrival
• Patient must have positive ECG- ST elevation, new LBBB, or documented Posterior MI
OR
• Positive Biomarkers- Troponin or CK-MB
• Transfer In patients- STEMI must arrive within 72 hours, NSTEMI within 24 hours
• If presents with any other symptoms, or procedures, the patient is excluded
Acute/In-hospital Measures Aspirin Arrival
STEMI - Any reperfusion (PCI or Lytic) STEMI - Lytic -Door to Needle (Median Time and % <30min) STEMI - PCI – D2B (Median Time and % <90min STEMI - D2B Transfer in (Median Time)LVSD Evaluation
Discharge Measures Aspirin
B-blocker ACE or ARB (EF <40%) Statin for LDL ≥100mg/dL Smoking cessation (among smokers)Cardiac rehabilitation

Premier vs. LimitedDetailed
ACTION Registry-GWTG Premier
• Full ACTION Registry-GWTG data set• Complete quarterly Outcome Report for
benchmarking• Report on 17 Core Performance Measures• Report on 12 Quality Metrics• Sites will be eligible for Higher level of
Recognition Program
ACTION Registry-GWTG Limited
• 50% of full ACTION Registry-GWTG data set• Limited quarterly Outcome Report for
benchmarking• Report on 17 Core Performance Measures• Report on 7 Quality Metrics• Lower level of Recognition
Limited and Premier Forms
140 fields in Limited vs. 280 fields in Premier
– Simple/Average patient 60-80 fields vs. 100-150 in Premier– Complicated patient 80-100 fields vs. 150- 200 in Premier– Non PCI centers 60 fields vs. 100 in Premier
• Either form is available to all ACTION Registry-GWTG participants
• Strongly encourage participants to use Premier data set, especially PPCI capable centers
Limited Form: Pros and ConsPros
Fewer Data Elements
Less time required for
data abstraction and entry
Accommodating for NonPCI Centers
Great form for new sites to start
ConsNo Excessive dosingReports for Anticoagulants
Lower Level of Recognition
Limited Quarterly Outcomes Report
Data not available to allowPhysicians to participate inPACE project
Premier Form: Pros and ConsPros
Detailed Quarterly ExcessiveDosing Reports forAnticoagulants
Higher level of Recognition
Robust Data Set
Full Quarterly OutcomesReport
Required if Physician participatingin PACE PI-CME project
Cons
More time required for dataabstraction and entry
Answering fields that are lesslikely to pertain to Non-PCICenters
Acute/In-hospital Measures Aspirin Arrival
STEMI - Any reperfusion (PCI or Lytic) STEMI - Lytic -Door to Needle (Median Time and % <30min) STEMI - PCI – D2B (Median Time and % <90min STEMI - D2B Transfer in (Median Time)LVSD Evaluation

Performance Measures
Site Specific Quarterly Reports
• Composites (12 months)– Percent of compliance– Benchmark National
• Line graphs (12 months)– Breakdown Quarterly performance
• Tables (Quarterly, 12 months)– Benchmark Like Hospitals, National, Top 10%– All AMI details, and side by side STEMI and NSTEMI– Overall AMI Subgroups- Compares composites by race, gender,
age, transfer and non-transfer, DM and non-DM, CrCl patients
National Data Slide Sets Produced every 6 months
