	<p class="subtitle">Percent of Heart Attack Patients Given a Beta Blocker at Discharge</p>
<p><strong>Why Is This Important?</strong><br />Beta blockers are a type of medicine that is used to lower blood pressure, treat chest pain (angina) and heart failure, and to help prevent a heart attack. Beta blockers relieve the stress on the heart by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force with which the heart muscles contract to pump blood. They also help keep blood vessels from constricting in the heart, brain and body.</p>
<p><strong>About This Graph</strong><br />Health care providers recognize that heart attack patients can benefit from beta blockers and should get a prescription for a beta blocker before leaving the hospital. The graph below indicates how often eligible heart attack patients are prescribed a beta blocker when being discharged from UMass Memorial Medical Center as compared with other Massachusetts and U.S. hospitals. Higher percentages indicate better care. (Graph data: April 2008 through March 2009.)</p>
<p><img class="sm6generalwizard" src="images/Quality/Nov%2009/Chart5_11-09.jpg" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong>How Are We Doing?<br /></strong>While we have consistently achieved a level of performance above our peers nationally as well as statewide, our goal is to reach 100 percent in this measure for all patients at all times. To that end, we continue to monitor our care to identify any incidences where we did not meet the standard. Every incidence when we do not meet the standard is reviewed with a multidisciplinary team in order to identify barriers to care and implement processes to help us improve. Results are updated quarterly in order to provide the most up-to-date information.<br />&nbsp;</p>
