Cardiovascular Outcomes

Programs: Me2health project: working with me2health, the "assessing the feasibility of a secure, cloud- based platform to receive personal health information from an electronic health record" project seeks to develop a user interface, backend functionality, data transfers and ease of use for the patient/institution to seamlessly and securely share information to maximize patient awareness and involvement in healthcare decision-making. This project is complete.

triumph-ant & triumph expansion study: during 2017, publishing was active from the triumph-ant (translational research investigating underlying disparities in acute myocardial infarction patients' health status with anemia/creatinine assessments) study as well as the triumph expansion study which analyzed rehospitalization records for triumph patients. Several scientific abstracts and articles were published in 2017.

licensing: the rights to sublicense several disease-specific health status instruments are held by cvo. The seattle angina questionnaire (saq), the kansas city cardiomyopathy questionnaire (kccq), and the peripheral arterial questionnaire (paq) are licensed to researchers through cvo. During 2017, minimal licenses were awarded to academic and not-for-profit researchers interested in patient centered, disease-specific health status for cardiovascular illnesses.

premier: publishing from the premier registry (prospective registry evaluating outcomes after myocardial infarction: events and recovery) remains a large part of cvo's accomplishments. The extensive database continues to be used by multiple investigators, physicians and nurses alike, for several publications this year.
