Non for Profit Jobs Benefit from Strengthened Alliance Those with non for profit jobs (http://jobs.heart.org) in the healthcare industry will soon be eligible to receive an upgraded degree of respect.

The American Heart Association recently announced its plans to strengthen the organization's partnership with the Joint Commission in an effort to provide more appropriate and comprehensive care to patients.

Under the partnership, Certified Primary Stroke Centers and Heart Failure Programs will be able to use designated seals to show they are providing the "next generation of stroke or heart failure care."

"By achieving these advanced certifications in heart failure and stroke, healthcare providers will demonstrate their commitment to consistently delivering reliable, effective and high quality care to their patients," AHA President Gordon Tomaselli, M.D., said in a statement.

The partnership between the AHA and the Joint Commission will result in a number of benefits, including:

• The ability of patients to easily recognize hospitals that provide state-of-the-art stroke and heart failure care.
• A central destination for sharing stroke and heart failure care information with a number of tools and best practices.
• A set of support services to facilitate the provision of excellent primary stroke and heart failure care through online virtual networking.
• Future integration with the AHA's Get With The Guidelines program and the Joint Commission's Certification Measure Information Process.
• Trend reports that allow stroke centers to view their program's performance on stroke and heart failure standardized measures.
• Increased recognition by the public.
