    ACTION Registry®–GWTG™ is a national, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based quality improvement program that helps participating facilities measure and improve care for high-risk ACS patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. The result of the collaboration between the two leading national coronary artery disease registries, the NCDR® ACTION Registry® and the American Heart Association (AHA) Get With The GuidelinesSM-CAD Registry, ACTION Registry–GWTG will be the largest, most comprehensive national cardiovascular patient database ever developed by the medical profession.

    Combining the strengths of the two programs, ACTION Registry–GWTG will collect a comprehensive set of data elements that provide healthcare professionals and their facilities with the information they need to monitor and improve adherence to the most current, science-based ACC/AHA treatment guidelines.
