    Escape the cold, learn from the experts on national trends in quality cardiovascular care and come visit ACE at three major cardiovascular meetings in Florida in January and February.

    Up first is the 2015 Cardiovascular Summit (CV Summit), on January 22-24, 2015, at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek/Waldorf Astoria in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the 2015 CV Summit, “Solutions for Thriving in a Time of Change,” is particularly relevant for physicians, nurses, technicians, administrators, and support staff working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory environment.

    Ralph G. Brindis, MD, MPH, MACC, FSCAI, Past President of ACC and ACE Vice Chair, will moderate the special session on quality, “Quality and Data: Getting Credit for Doing the Right Thing.” Dr. Brindis will also share his insight on appropriate use criteria (AUC) in the cardiac catheterization lab in his presentation, “AUC: How Can We Embed This into Our Work Flow?”

    Another chance to visit ACE is at the 2015 ISET meeting, January 31-February 4, 2015, at the Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.

The “Nurses and Technologists Symposium: Innovations in Cardiac and Vascular Care,” on January 31, 2015, will focus on the critical roles these healthcare professionals play in maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
