CRUSADE, a national quality improvement initiative, is designed to increase the practice of evidenced-based medicine for patients with diagnosed non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS).
CRUSADE will use as its "gold standard", the NSTE ACS clinical practice guidelines developed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA). Feedback to clinicians about care patterns and educational interventions will be used as strategies to improve the standard of care.
CRUSADE should raise physician awareness of and increase the application of the ACC/AHA guidelines for care of patients with acute coronary syndromes. Patients will benefit from this project.
