Description

Million Hearts® is a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2027. The purpose of the Million Hearts® Hospital & Health Systems Recognition program is to recognize institutions working to systematically improve the cardiovascular health of the population and communities they serve through a focus on Building Healthy Communities, Optimizing Care, Focusing on Health Equity, and Supplemental Programs and Innovations. Hospitals and health systems will self-nominate through an online portal confirming that they are: a.)Committed to implement strategies that promote cardiovascular health b.)Provide documentation of current strategies that they are implementing in order to promote cardiovascular health c.) Provide documentation of current strategies that they are implementing in order to promote cardiovascular health and provide data that shows positive health outcomes as a result of those strategies being implemented. Nominations will be reviewed using predetermined criteria to ascertain that they meet the eligibility criteria. The determinations by the review group will be reviewed by an expert panel of judges. Recognized designees will participate in the development of a success story product to be shared broadly with the public health and clinical audiences. CDC staff members have developed the application criteria, data collection instruments, and selection criteria. Data will be stored by CDC on a secure CDC file system. This data will be stored on a secure server that will be password protected. CDC's Million Hearts® team and its funded partner (The National Association for Chronic Disease Directors) will have access to this data. Data will not be shared with any other entities, and will be stored for 3 years. The objective of this program is to identify and recognize hospitals and health systems that work to improve cardiovascular health in a narrative or documentary format. No individual patient level data will be collected, only practice level summary data. No generalizable knowledge will emerge from this project. A manuscript is not planned at this time. Selected hospitals and health systems will be recognized through web-based platforms.
