HOW DO TOP-TIER CARIDAC HOSPITALS STAY TOP-TIER?
Continuous Quality Improvement in Cardiovascular
Building and sustaining a culture of continuous quality improvement is crucial, especially as it becomes more and more difficult to achieve top-tier recognition.
How to Excel in Cardiovascular - Quality Matters News Brief

An article from November in Modern Healthcare organizes our thoughts this week, as it becomes harder to achieve recognition as a top cardiovascular hospital. We explore what it takes—like constantly improving (note: ACE quality review and accreditation can help)—and some other news which might help focus quality improvement efforts for peripheral vascular intervention and the TEE examination.
At Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence, we've proven that we can help organizations build and sustain a culture of continuous quality improvement through our quality-focused accreditation processes. Learn more about how ACE accreditation can help your organization reduce variation and continue to improve, here.

Speaking of reducing variation, the American College of Cardiology recently released Appropriate Use Criteria for Peripheral Vascular Intervention for the first time. Authors hope the AUC will help to reduce variation by "balancing over-use and under-use of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" for this complex patient group.

ALSO: The American Society of Echocardiography released a comprehensive resource for conducting transthoracic echocardiographic examinations in adults, hoping to shape comprehensive protocols for TEE. Plus, a new study examined TAVI outcomes for patients treated with balloon-expandable valves versus self-expandable valves. The differences should inform practice.
