Clinical & Quality Program Research

Leveraging data from programs like Get With The Guidelines®, researchers can uncover critical insights that advance life-saving science and improve patient outcomes.
The ÌÇÐÄVlog® (AHA) collects millions of patient records through its national quality programs, creating robust datasets that drive advancements in cardiovascular and stroke research. All data is securely gathered at the patient level from participating hospitals and de-identified to ensure the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality.

Over 800 peer-reviewed publications have emerged from AHA’s national data, shaping evidence-based care in cardiovascular and stroke research.

Get With the Guidelines® Quality Research Publications | ÌÇÐÄVlog

The ÌÇÐÄVlog’s® (AHA) Get With The Guidelines® (GWTG) is a hospital-based Quality Improvement program designed to close the treatment gaps in cardiovascular and stroke care. Data from these programs create a vast registry for advancing scientific research with hundreds of publications to date.

Data ChallengesÌý

At various times, The ÌÇÐÄVlog will host Data Challenges encouraging cross collaboration among researchers to deepen understanding of a strategic, focused topic. Challenge participants are asked to address targeted research questions and teams are encouraged to leverage Get With The Guidelines® (GWTG) registry data, generalizable data and other publicly available datasets. All data must be de-identified. Each challenge participant will be provided a free, Precision Medicine Platform workspace to conduct all analyses. Use of the workspace for entry and submission of the application is mandatory for security. All workspaces are HIPPA compliant and FedRAMP low certified.
