ACC, collaborators announce program to improve CV care delivery
The American College of Cardiology, MedAxiom and Royal Philips announced a collaboration aimed at improving performance in the delivery of integrated CV care.
According to a press release issued by the collaborators, cardiologists and related providers of CV care do not have good models or data for optimizing performance.
“To address these challenges, Philips will leverage its cardiovascular R&D and clinical expertise, ACC will provide knowledge that leverages the skill and expertise of more than 54,000 members and MedAxiom will contribute premier organizational performance solutions,” the collaborators stated in the release.
The program will provide clinicians with data, education and services to enable them to optimize efficiency while reducing cost and maintaining high levels of quality, according to the release.
“The ACC is mission-driven to transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health, and we embrace innovative ways of supporting clinicians and the entire cardiovascular care team,” Cathleen C. Gates, CEO of the ACC, said in the release. “By combining Philips’ depth of knowledge in cardiac care delivery with ACC’s robust guideline and clinical document offerings, we’re ensuring clinicians have access to guideline-driven best practices in an impactful way.”
