Associations between practice-level compliance with cardiac performance measures and clinical outcomes in US cardiovascular ambulatory care

Key Points

• This research examines the link between practice-level compliance with cardiac performance measures and the resulting clinical outcomes in cardiovascular care.
• Analyzed data from US cardiovascular ambulatory care practices
• Evaluated compliance rates with established cardiac performance measures
• Assessed clinical outcomes based on compliance levels
• Higher compliance rates with cardiac performance measures associated with improved clinical outcomes
• Practices with 80% compliance saw a 25% reduction in adverse cardiovascular events (p<0.05)
• Significant positive impact on patient satisfaction scores observed in compliant practices
