- A long-term plan is essential for positive outcomes post-procedure.
Conclusions:
- A multidisciplinary approach to outcomes management is crucial.
- This approach enhances institutional competitiveness in the healthcare market.
- Focusing on comprehensive patient management ensures better long-term results.
Abstract:
In the evolution of quality assessment activities in interventional cardiology, outcomes management has become the benchmark for demonstrating optimal care. The high volume of interventional cardiology procedures performed each year mandates that efficient, high-quality and cost-effective patient care be delivered to all patients with cardiovascular disease. Although the interventional cardiology procedures represent only a snap shot of the patient's management of coronary artery disease, a long-term plan for positive outcomes is required. A multidisciplinary approach to outcomes management facilitates institutions to be competitive in today's health care market.
