Quality Improvement - Know Diabetes by Heart

Our nation’s healthcare systems represent the front line in the fight to stop diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The Know Diabetes by Heart^™ initiative will support quality improvement efforts by engaging directly with hospitals and outpatient clinics to provide long-term support to their teams of professionals as they redesign healthcare to better serve patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Using Data to Drive Change

Using data effectively is critical to improve care quality. As technology continues to advance, our ability to generate data evolves at a rapid pace. However, many healthcare organizations struggle to access, analyze and meaningfully use their data to inform and drive change.

AHA’s Get With the Guidelines^® programs¹ and ADA’s Diabetes INSIDE^® initiative¹ are designed to help healthcare organizations better apply clinical guidelines and use their data to continually measure and monitor care processes over time, and to use these insights to inform constant and deliberate change to improve the lives of the patients they serve.
