1 The Swedish approach: Quality Assurance with Clinical Quality Registries the RIKS-HIA example Ulf Stenestrand, MD, PhD Department of Cardiology University Hospital Linköping Chairman RIKS-HIA

2 Register of Information and Knowledge about Swedish Heart Intensive care Admissions General information 8.. (out of hospitals in Sweden >. ICCU-admissions since 1 Annually. new admissions Annually. acute MI > % of CCU admissions Sweden Population million Size larger than Germany

3 Features of RIKS-HIA All consecutive patients at all participating hospitals are entered into the registry hours x 3 days Fully complies to European standard definitions of variables CARDS Based on a unique personal identification number given to every Swedish citizen at birth Non cardiac baseline information added by merging with other national registries Outcome such as new hospitalization or death is added by merging with other national registries this ensures 1% follow-up with no time limit

4 Data validity Information is entered over the Internet into RIKS-HIA or transferred from electronic patient records. The web-based interface has a number of logic controls for data being entered. Continuous validation and control of data is performed by an external monitor. These controls have detected on average % correct and non missing data entered

5 Purpose Develop acute coronary care by: Continuous information about patients (number & characteristics, therapy and outcome. Continuous feed-back about development and outcome at your own hospital Comparison with national guidelines, national standard and similar hospitals

6 Quality indicators = adherence to treatment goals according to guidelines How large is the variation in therapies between hospitals? Does the therapy change according to new guidelines? Does outcome improve with changed therapy? Does individual hospital s quality of care improve in relation to new treatment goals? Does individual hospital s quality of care affect outcome?

7 Quality indicators = adherence to treatment goals according to guidelines How large is the variation in therapies between hospitals? Does the therapy change according to new guidelines? Does outcome improve with changed therapy? Does individual hospital s quality of care improve in relation to new treatment goals? Does individual hospital s quality of care affect outcome?

21 Quality index Quality index is a relative index that aims to reflect the hospitals adherence to national (and ESC guidelines in acute MI. The index is based on measures that are recommended with high priority 1 3 (in a scale 1 to 1 in patients with indication and no contraindication for the treatment. 1 point was given to hospitals above the level of the ¼ that have the best adherence to national guideline previous year for each individual measure.

32 On-line reports in RIKS-HIA RAS-blockade Reperfusion in STEMI

33 Quality reports in your own hospital On-line, includes everything that has been entered before midnight the previous evening. Mortality updated once a month by adding data from the National Population Registry Quarterly quality reports are automatically mailed to a free number of subscribers

34 Summary Complications and death are so uncommon that they cannot be used as quality indicators for individual hospitals. Adherence to guidelines and evidence based therapy is thus a better indicator of quality of care. Quality index is an attempt to summarize adherence to guidelines. Quality registries can help improving adherence to guidelines and thereby outcome and patient health
