The Get With The Guidelines Collaborative Research Network (GWTG-CORE) is a collaborative research network for participating GWTG hospitals interested in learning about and engaging in clinical research and implementation studies. GWTG-CORE is built upon The American Heart Association's suite of quality improvement registries. These comprehensive data registries hold over 11 million unique patient encounters. Over 2000 hospitals and outpatient clinics collaborate with the American Heart Association to improve evidence-based care for stroke, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, or atrial fibrillation, and ambulatory patient care outcomes.
Investigators are invited to collaborate with the AHA in clinical research by joining the GWTG-CORE to gain access to a network of participating hospitals, clinics, and community for collaboration through shared research experiences and interests. In addition, GWTG-CORE will enable the AHA to quickly identify and invite eligible GWTG hospitals and health systems to participate in clinical research and implementation studies across the nation.
The network is agile, efficient, and it will drive next-generation research in cardiovascular care.
