    Outcomes-focused research made news across cardiovascular care disciplines in the past few weeks. One study points out the potential impact of taking cardiac rehabilitation "to the next level," as individualized rehab provides an opportunity for service lines to improve outcomes across the board. Plus, a large qualitative study offers insight into top-performers in responding to in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Our review of the latest news in cardiovascular care turned up two more articles concerned with quality labels and their impact on outcomes: 'Center of Excellence' designations from payors might not mean much, but process of care scores from public hospital performance reports may. Plus, insights on quality from a rare "three-star" -rated hospital.

    Accreditation's Impact - Quality Matters Brief

    We know that reducing variability improves quality and reduces cost. In this week's Quality Matters, we break down several research studies from the past 15 years to take a deeper look at a quality accreditation process and its impact on variability. We've identified studies that analyze accreditation engagement and motivation, critical success factors for quality assurance, and Washington State's approach to reducing variability.
