Abstract: Despite improvements in recent years, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant national health burden and the leading cause of death, involved in nearly one of every three deaths. Modifiable risk factors for CVD, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking, remain poorly controlled. Evidence from patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) shows that increasing the delivery of the ABCS of heart health – Aspirin in high-risk individuals, Blood pressure control, Cholesterol management, and Smoking cessation – can reduce risk and reduce heart attacks and strokes. In 2010, Congress established the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Trust Fund and instructed AHRQ to support the dissemination of PCOR findings. In accordance with its mandated role, AHRQ issued a Request for Applications (RFA) entitled Supporting Primary Care to Advance Cardiovascular Health in States with High Prevalence of Preventable CVD Events. AHRQ anticipates investing up to $18 million to support a maximum of 4 awards. Each grantee will establish a state-level entity – known as a Cooperative – to support primary care improvement and run a Heart Health Quality Improvement (QI) project. The expected earliest start date for the grants is December 30, 2020. This initiative has the following goals: 1. To improve heart health and help reduce CVD disparities by engaging with primary care practices, and disseminating and implementing PCOR findings to improve care delivery. 2. To learn how to develop sustainable state-level primary care QI infrastructure to improve the uptake of PCOR evidence in primary care. 3. To disseminate lessons learned, which take into consideration the context in which each program operated, on how to replicate successes and avoid challenges.
