Developed by Your CHD Colleagues

Building on the work of the ACC’s Adult Congenital and Pediatric Cardiology Quality Workgroup to develop quality metrics across several domains in pediatric cardiology and adult CHD, the Quality Network provides a national mechanism for current and anticipated metrics that will be used for collaborative clinical quality improvement.
