Campaign Information

About the CAMPAIGN
EvidenceNOW: Advancing Heart Health in Primary Care is an initiative of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to transform health care delivery by building a critical infrastructure to help smaller primary care practices improve the heart health of their patients by applying the latest medical research and tools.

The goal of this initiative is to ensure that primary care practices have the evidence they need to help their patients adopt the 
ABCS of cardiovascular disease prevention: Aspirin in high-risk individuals, Blood pressure control, Cholesterol management, and Smoking cessation. NaRCAD's partnership supports the academic detailing and tele-detailing component of this multifactorial intervention.

The initiative also includes an independent national evaluation designed to determine if and how quality improvement support can accelerate the dissemination and implementation of new evidence in primary care.

PROGRAM SUPPORT​
  • NaRCAD has been instrumental in supporting traditional AD adaptation for this campaign, which features teledetailing as an alternative to face-to-face detailing.
