Modern Data Concepts and Risk Assessment
Featuring a modern, cloud-hosted data structure focusing on quality and using machine learning for risk assessment tools across all procedures. Quality outcomes comprise metrics that matter and are actionable.
Real-Time Feedback
Providing real-time feedback using advanced analytics and visualization with extensive, site-specific, tailored dashboards of performance. Built-in reporting tools allow easy export of data for external reporting and allow for automated submission to state databases.
Collaboration
Includes multi-site collaboration efforts to improve quality. Multidisciplinary teams communicating in an online forum discussing best practices. Collaboratives could be formed for investigator-initiated clinical trials or commercially sponsored trials.
The surgeons and data managers spoke, and the AATS listened. Using their feedback, the AATS continues to develop a novel and transformative 21st century Quality Gateway program. Designed to help our patients and specialties with accurate risk assessment, modern analytics, and peer-to-peer collaboration. Built on a Cloud-based platform, with customizable dashboards and advanced data visualization, you will always be able to access your data whenever and however you want it.
The inspiration and vision behind the Quality Gateway can be found in more detail in the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, “A Comprehensive American Association for Thoracic Surgery Quality Program for the 21st Century.” . J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2019 Oct:158 (4):1120-1126.
21st Century Partnerships
AATS continues to build, manage, and secure the AATS Quality Gateway leveraging partnerships with organizations equally focused on innovation. The AATS Gateway will be a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant portal for advanced analytical tools and collaboration related to cardiothoracic data.
