A new case report published in JACC: Case Reports, a leading peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), highlights the impact of real-time cardiovascular quality data on improving clinical outcomes. The article evaluates a data-driven quality improvement initiative enabled by Q-Apps® Exception Reporting and was authored by:
- Sarah Demmin, RN, Sr. Director, Cardiovascular Market Lead at Q-Centrix
- Bethany Zigler, MPH, Clinical Data Scientist at Q-Centrix
- Colleagues at University of Florida Health
- Shauna Robinson, Healthcare Writer at Q-Centrix
The publication documents measurable improvements in adherence to ACC cardiovascular quality metrics, including higher door-to-balloon compliance and increased discharge medication offering rates. Cardiologist-level compliance scores also improved following the adoption of real-time data feedback, curated registry abstraction, and structured clinician engagement.
For organizations focused on advancing cardiovascular quality, this work provides peer-reviewed evidence that timely, accurate clinical data can drive meaningful performance improvement and strengthen patient care. The study reinforces Q-Centrix’s role as a trusted clinical data partner supporting health systems with real-time analytics, registry expertise, and evidence-based quality programs.
