The programs of the Foundation for Health Care Quality have been approved by the WA State Department of Health as
Coordinated Quality Improvement Programs (CQIP) under: RCW 43.70.51
“A CQIP… may share information and documents… with one or more other CQIPs or committees or boards…
and shall not be subject to the discovery process…”
Quality Improvement Protection:
COAP IN 2011
What Does COAP Do?
Collects data on all CABG, Valve and PCI procedures Analyzes data with feedback in the form of an annual risk-adjusted dashboard Distributes quarterly and annual descriptive reports Educates data managers Performs inter-rater reliability testing & audits Develops an ongoing QI plan dealing with participation status Improves quality of care in Washington State
COAP IN 2011
COAP is a quality improvement organization that is data driven
COAP Cardiac Quality measures are the most complete (all patients), most accurate (clinical data submitted by ‘tested’ abstractors, not billing data) and most timely (available within a few months after the close of a quarter, not a year later).
Outcomes are reported as a comparison with the rest of the state hospitals
Outcomes are expected to be within 2 SD of the mean
COAP data is reviewed as a yearly event as well trend outcomes over time
Sanctions occur if these outcomes are not met
COAP is responsive to regional activities - out of hospital arrest
COAP IN 2011
We use our data to identify best practices and rely on our practitioners to implement these best practices
Best Practices:Identify, document, replicate, and evaluate the implementation of best practices
Help to convene physician leaders and multidisciplinary teams with the goal of engaging them to develop sound QI approaches and promote widespread adoption.

PCI: Appropriate Use

Reasons to measure PCI appropriateness
Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Revascularization
Appropriateness of PCI in Washington State
Future directions
COAP IN 2011
Background
PCI is critical tool in the management of CAD
In patients with ACS, PCI reduces mortality and recurrent MI
For stable coronary disease, PCI offers symptom relief in appropriate patients
COAP IN 2011
Pressures to Reduce Use of PCI
More than 1.2 million PCI are performed annually in the U.S. at $26 billion in cost
Volume- and cost-control efforts by payers have been amplified
Payer mechanisms are often intrusive, fail to improve quality, or optimal patient care
COAP IN 2011
Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Revascularization
Developed by the ACC in partnership with multiple professional organizations
National standard to quantify ‘appropriateness’ of PCI for clinical scenarios
Stewards of self-regulation and an opportunity to improve effective utilization

Elements Defining Clinical Scenarios
Clinical presentation (e.g. ACS, stable angina)
Severity of angina (CCS classification)
Extent of ischemia on noninvasive testing and other prognostic factors (e.g. low EF, DM)
Extent of anti-anginal therapy
Extent of anatomic disease

COAP IN 2011
Definition of AppropriateCoronary Revascularization
“Coronary revascularization is appropriate when the expected benefits, in terms of survival or health outcomes (symptoms, functional status, and/or quality of life) exceed the expected negative consequences of the procedure.”
Patel MR, et al. JACC. 2009;53:530-553.

PCI Appropriateness in NCDR More than 350,000 PCI performed nationally, 85%
appropriate and 4% inappropriate Acute indications 99% appropriate Non-acute indications 50% appropriate and 12%
inappropriate
Variation in PCI appropriateness by facility
NCDR beginning to provide feedback to participating facilities on PCI appropriateness
COAP IN 2011
Role of Appropriate Use Criteria Appropriate use criteria may identify appropriate
practice patterns and facilitate highly effective and efficient care
Similar appropriateness across practice settings is a reasonable goal; complete elimination of “inappropriate” use is not
COAP IN 2011
Interventionalist Perception of PCI Appropriateness
Survey of 85 interventionalists
84% agreement in the median appropriateness rating 94% (34 of 36) for appropriate indications 70% (7 of 10) for inappropriate indications
Non-agreement (>25% of respondents outside the median rating) common
COAP IN 2011
Rigorous Methodology Behind the Appropriate Use Criteria
Only 50% of technical panel members perform revascularization Balance of interventionalists and cardiac surgeons
Ensures agreement of ratings with best evidence
Emphasis on practice patterns of appropriateness
