VA Clinical Assessment Reporting and Tracking (CART) Program

<p>The mission of the VA Clinical Assessment Reporting and Tracking (CART) Program for cardiac catheterization laboratories (CART-CL) is to support a national VA reporting system, data repository, and quality improvement program for procedures performed in VA cardiac catheterization laboratories. CART-CL is intended to improve clinical care/communication, support local and national quality improvement, monitor patient safety, capture workload of cardiac catheterization lab procedures, and inform VA system evaluation to maximize operational efficiency and patient outcomes. CART-CL is a collaborative effort between the VA Patient Care Services, Office of Information and Analytics, Ischemic Heart Disease Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (IHD-QUERI), and Office of Information and Technology (OI&amp;T).</p>VA 临床评估报告与跟踪计划（CART-CL）旨在支持全国性 VA 报告系统、数据存储库以及针对在 VA 心脏导管实验室进行的手术的质量改进项目。CART-CL 的目标在于提升临床护理与沟通，支持地方与国家层面的质量改进，监控患者安全，捕捉心脏导管实验室手术的工作量，并为 VA 系统评估提供信息，以实现运营效率的最大化和患者结果的优化。CART-CL 是 VA 患者护理服务、信息与分析办公室、缺血性心脏病质量提升研究倡议（IHD-QUERI）以及信息技术办公室（OI&T）之间的协作成果。
