Healthy Hearts Northwest

Healthy Hearts Northwest (H2N) was one of seven regional cooperatives in AHRQ’s EvidenceNOW initiative, which was dedicated to helping small- and medium-sized primary care practices across the country use the latest evidence to improve the heart health of millions of Americans. 

• The EvidenceNOW Healthy Hearts Northwest (H2N) team created a "Toolkit for Clinical Quality Metric Extraction" to guide practice facilitators and primary care clinic staff in using health information technology (HIT) to support quality improvement (QI). 
• To read more about H2N's findings, refer to "Building quality improvement capacity in primary care: 16 key insights about practice facilitation."
• Explore practice personas and the tailored strategies for approaching practices with specific issues.

In addition, H2N generated several publications, including:

• Study protocol for “Healthy Hearts Northwest”: a 2x2 randomized factorial trial to build quality improvement capacity in primary care
• Specifications of Clinic Quality Measures and Value Set Vocabularies Shift Over Time
• Engaging Primary Care Practices in Studies of Improvement: Did You Budget Enough for Practice Recruitment?
• Understanding the Impact of Variations in Measurement Period Reporting for Electronic Clinical Quality Measures
