Today, cardiology procedures are scrutinized more than ever, creating an imperative to ensure high-quality programs. Implementing a proactive external review program for your cardiovascular program is one of the key elements to ensure quality outcomes. Learn more about the ACE E3: More Than Peer Review Program and how ACE can take your cath lab from good to GREAT in achieving quality patient care.
Organizational and personal risk can be mitigated by proactively performing peer review to objectively identify opportunities to ensure optimal outcomes. Internal peer review processes are critical; however, external validation may compliment these processes. The most objective method for validating a peer review program is to partner with an organization that includes cardiology expertise such as the ACE E3: Expert External Evaluation program. In this program, ACE expert cardiologists guide the development of an integrated quality program by providing a thorough and in-depth review of images, process, documentation and outcomes to engage physicians in achieving consensus in securing Cardiac Cath Lab (CCL) quality. Clinician experts collaborate from within the physician team, helping to reduce complexity and focus the CCL on vital quality indicators. ACE E3 peer review integrates Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) standardization, eliminates bias and validates quality of invasive cardiology patient services. ACE cardiology external review experts recommend a process that is performed, discussed and implemented at all levels and amongst all disciplines within the cardiovascular program.
Validating documentation and CCL practices and outcomes are the foundation of value-based care. Objective, external peer review supports the ongoing management of quality patient care and removes the “politics” from internal Peer Review for your organization. ACE E3: More Than Peer Review services are affordable, confidential, customizable and timely.
