| Popis: | The Cooperative Cardiovascular Project (CCP) is a nationwide quality improvement project (quality indicator measurement, feedback, remeasurement) in Medicare acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients sponsored by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). In Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, 3,472 baseline records were abstracted from 76 hospitals from January 1994 to February 1995. After feedback, 2,270 remeasurements were collected from October 1996 to May 1997. At remeasurement, performance improved significantly for "ideal" candidates (defined by the CCP) on five quality indicators-aspirin during hospitalization 88% to 93% (p < .001), thrombolytic timing 60% to 69% (p |
