Prestigious ACE Accreditation Compares Cath Procedure to National Gold Standards
We are proud to announce that Spectrum Health has been awarded ACE Cath/PCI Accreditation. Spectrum Health is the second institution in the nation to achieve this accreditation. Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence (ACE) is based on comprehensive outcomes data, nationally-accepted quality and efficiency benchmarks. ACE accreditation is focused on value and quality of care rather than volume of care.
The accreditation process involves a professional review of the organization’s structure, internal process, patient safety practices, and clinical outcomes to determine if it meets the standards established by experts in cardiac and endovascular care. This achievement highlights the dedication of the Cardiology service line to evidenced based and safe patient care.
“We congratulate Spectrum Health for seeking and obtaining ACE accreditation,” said ACE Chief Medical Officer Bonnie Weiner, M.D. “By submitting to a rigorous, independent evaluation, you have shown an uncompromising commitment to provide safe high-quality care.”
The work of many people and departments has made this achievement possible. We want to thank all the people who through their skills and commitment to excellence have contributed to this accomplishment.
