LaBresh et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Hospitalized cardiovascular disease (n=45,988). Get With The Guidelines program vs. Preintervention baseline period was evaluated on Adherence to 11 acute and secondary prevention measures (e.g., early aspirin for acute myocardial infarction) (p=<0.0001). The Get With The Guidelines program significantly improved adherence in 10 of 11 quality measures, including early aspirin use for acute myocardial infarction (76.4% to 88.0%, P<0.0001).
