Quality of cardiovascular disease care in small urban practices.
This study described small, independent primary care practices' performance in meeting the Million Hearts ABCSs (aspirin use, blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and smoking screening and counseling). It concluded that achieving targets for ABCS measures varied considerably across practices; however, small practices were meeting or exceeding Million Hearts goals (i.e., 70 percent or greater).
AHRQ-funded; HS023922.
