Our Partners

CardiQ partners are dedicated leaders who collaborate to drive meaningful innovation and improve outcomes in heart rhythm care. Together, we can drive meaningful change and improve patient outcomes.

Arrhythmia Alliance is a coalition of organizations, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals working together to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for individuals with heart rhythm disorders. The alliance promotes education, awareness, and advocacy to ensure timely diagnosis and effective care. The Arrhythmia Alliance partners with its sister organizations, the AF Association and STARS (Syncope Trust).

StopAfib.org is a patient-to-patient resource to provide patients and family members with the information and answers they need to take control of their AFib and keep it from disrupting their lives. Learn about AFib and why it is a problem, understand how to manage AFib with lifestyle, medications, and procedures, and find resources to help manage or eliminate AFib.

The AF QI Framework was developed by the Heart Rhythm Society in collaboration with the BMS-Pfizer Alliance; CardiQ was developed by the Heart Rhythm Society with funding from the BMS-Pfizer Alliance.

"The overall layout of the framework assisted greatly in walking through the project as though it were an outline. Taking each pillar and elaborating on the designated categories helped identify areas that were completed, needed to be completed, or where there were gaps in the project that were originally not identified. It was helpful to share the framework with those we needed to get on board with the project. They could then visualize the steps and where they played their part. The framework helped have a clear line of communication between the team, it gave a way for us to see where we were at, where we were going, and what the next steps were. We oftentimes could only communicate through email, so the framework gave the basis for what to discuss and kept everyone on the same page."

- Michelle L. Budzyn, PharmD

"The multidisciplinary framework was the most important aspect – We need to break down the traditional silos in which we all work (which I think we were able to accomplish to some extent in this endeavor)."

- James C. Coons, PharmD, FCCP, FACC, BCCP
