Public Reporting Recognition Kit
Congratulations on your hospital's choice to publicly showcase your commitment to continuous quality improvement. Leverage the easy-to-use tools below to actively promote your Hospital Profile across your communication channels and spotlight your participation in ACC's NCDR and/or public reporting programs.
How to Use the Toolkit
This toolkit is designed to help your facility share its commitment to transparency of care and commitment to quality. It includes sample newsletter text, social media posts and graphics. You can copy and paste the sample content into your existing communications or adapt it to fit your facility's voice. We encourage you to share the toolkit with your communications and marketing teams so they can incorporate the materials into your outreach.
All hospitals participating in ACC's Public Reporting have a Find Your Heart a Home Hospital Profile on CardioSmart.org, ACC's patient-facing website dedicated to enhancing the patient-provider relationship. FindYourHeartaHome.org is a great url to direct to from your newsletter articles and social media posts.
