The Joint Commission, AHA finalize automatic data transfer process

Editor's Note

The Joint Commission, on February 15, announced that it has finalized the process for an automatic data transfer from the American Heart Association’s (AHA’s) Get with the Guidelines—Coronary Artery Disease registry directly into its Certification Measure Information Process tool for the Comprehensive Heart Attack Center certification program. 

For the data transfer to take place, an organization must ensure that its contract with the AHA permits the sharing of data. The process is available to start with fourth quarter 2022 data.
