To receive the 2022 Chest Pain — MI Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award, a hospital must have demonstrated sustained achievement in the Chest Pain — MI Registry for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021) and performed at the highest level for specific performance measures. Only 240 hospitals nationwide received the honor.
Participation in the registry immerses hospitals in a robust quality improvement process that includes using data to drive improvements in adherence to guideline recommendations and overall quality of care provided to heart attack patients.
