Core Measures: Heart Attack, Heart Failure, and Surgical Care
At Stanford Health Care we measure how timely and effective our care is compared to other hospitals, including how quickly medications are given and how well conditions are evaluated, managed and prevented. These core measures are taken from both Stanford Health Care and HospitalCompare, and the closer we are to 100%, the better.
Over the past four years, our core measures have improved. Learn more about how well we provide care for:
In 2013, 98.6% of heart attack patients received best care
The closer we measure to 100%, the better. In 2013, we were at 98.6%.
What is being measured?
The best treatment for a heart attack is offering certain heart medications. We measure how quickly patients are given medications like aspirin and "clot busting" medicine once they arrive at the hospital.
We also make sure aspirin and beta blocker heart medications are taken after the patient goes home.
The closer we measure to 100%, the better.
The closer we measure to 100%, the better. In 2013, we were at 99.6%.
The best treatment for heart failure is:
- Testing the strength of the heart
- Providing medications that make blood vessels relax
- Teaching patients
how to manage symptoms of heart failure when they leave the
hospital
The medications make it easier for blood to flow through the vessels, which reduces blood pressure.
The closer we measure to 100%, the better.

The closer we measure to 100%, the better.
