Crittenden Regional Hospital is one of 250 hospitals in the United States — and one of only two hospitals in Arkansas — to earn recognition for our cardiac patient care through the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines program.
In 2008, CRH received an Initial Performance Achievement Award, which recognizes hospitals for having 90 consecutive days in which at least 85 percent of our coronary artery disease patients (without contraindications) were treated and discharged according to American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guidelines and recommendations in the cardiac module.
In 2009, CRH received the Silver Annual Performance Award, which recognizes the hospital for having 12 consecutive months in which at least 85% of our coronary artery disease patients (without contraindications) were treated and discharged according to the Guidelines.
Get With the Guidelines is a quality-improvement program that helps hospitals ensure patients’ quality of care.
