FAQ: American Heart Association's Pulmonary Embolism Quality Improvement Initiative
TL;DR
The American Heart Association's new initiative provides healthcare systems with data-driven frameworks to improve pulmonary embolism outcomes, gaining competitive advantage in quality metrics.
The American Heart Association's three-year initiative uses a 20-site collaborative approach to identify care barriers and develop evidence-based pulmonary embolism treatment pathways.
This initiative aims to reduce pulmonary embolism deaths and healthcare disparities, creating a healthier future through improved diagnosis and treatment access for all communities.
Pulmonary embolism kills one in five high-risk patients, making this collaborative effort to share best practices across diverse hospitals both urgent and educational.

The Pulmonary Embolism Quality Improvement Initiative aims to better understand barriers and advance best practices for pulmonary embolism diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care through a three-year quality improvement program.
Pulmonary embolism sends more than half a million people to U.S. hospitals each year, kills about one in five high-risk patients, and is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death in the U.S., with PE-related mortality increasing from 2008 to 2018.
The American Heart Association is leading the initiative with support from Inari, now part of Stryker, and involves Dr. Jay Giri as a key volunteer expert along with a 20-site national learning collaborative representing diverse communities.
The initiative will convene a 20-site national learning collaborative that will share data, insights, and experiences through an 'all teach, all learn' approach to identify knowledge gaps, develop solutions to barriers, and disseminate evidence-based care pathways.
Pulmonary embolism is a type of venous thromboembolism that occurs when a blood clot breaks free, usually from a deep vein in the legs, and becomes lodged in the vessels supplying the lungs, potentially causing life-threatening complications.
The initiative aims to identify knowledge and practice gaps in PE care, develop solutions to known and unknown barriers, and disseminate key insights to inform scalable, evidence-based PE care pathways.
The initiative involves a national learning collaborative representing urban, rural, and under-resourced communities across the U.S., with the goal of improving health outcomes and reducing disparities across all systems of care.
This is a three-year quality improvement initiative that applies implementation science to overcome system-level challenges to PE care, making findings publicly available to help the entire PE community accelerate their work.
Pulmonary embolism remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and inconsistently managed, with hospitals facing real-world barriers to implementing best practices despite progress that has been made in PE care.
