Abstraction

GWTG Stroke/Heart Failure Integration

Get With The Guidelines (GWTG) Interface for Advanced Certification Heart Failure, Stroke, Certified Stroke, Stroke Outpatient, Acute Stroke Ready Inpatient and Acute Stroke Ready Outpatient Worksheets

Transfer patient level ACHF, STK, CSTK, STK-OP, ASR-IP and ASR-OP data to GWTG using the abstraction list or the abstraction page.

Abstraction List Interface

  • The GWTG Column is present on the Abstraction List. Abstractors can select cases individually or check the box next to GWTG to select all cases. Cases can be Abstraction Not Started, Abstraction In Progress or Abstraction Completed.

  • Once the selections have been completed, you can Click on the Blue Submit to GWTG button at the bottom of the Abstraction list.

  • After GWTG transfer is completed, a green flag will appear next to the GWTG selection box that will indicate which cases were transferred to GWTG.

Worksheet Interface

  • Individual worksheets can be transferred to GWTG directly from within the worksheet. Once you have saved the case, click the blue GWTG Submission button.

  • The GWTG Button will turn green to indicate transfer complete.

Note: Cases may be transferred to GWTG more than once - the data will overwrite what is in GWTG. 

When sending the same patient to GWTG for CSTK and any other measure, we recommend sending the CSTK case last. CSTK procedures require a time and if CSTK is sent first, the other case data will overwrite the procedure times.
