First quality standards available for ambulatory surgery centers, cardiogenic shock. |

Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence (ACE) is announcing the release of its newly updated, openly available and transparently developed quality standards for the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
These are standards crucial to quality delivery of cardiac Cath/PCI services, especially in environments where patients needing additional care must be transferred to another facility, such as Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). These new standards along with ACE accreditation can be utilized to ensure ASCs meet environmental, procedural, minimum volume and appropriate use criteria to provide efficient, quality and safe care for patients.
Last updated in 2015, ACE quality standards for cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention have undergone a comprehensive review and update process led by the ACE Board of Directors, including review of all recent literature and guidance documents from professional societies, resulting in the first openly available ambulatory surgery center standards.
