Description
Summary:The College has also played an important role in advocating for patient access to care, the incorporation of appropriate use criteria and clinical decision support for advanced diagnostic imaging, and the use of scientific registries for quality improvement. Without these efforts, we would not be positioned to encourage the creation of a value-driven health care system that improves the care experience for patients, enhances the health of populations, and reduces health care costs, nor would we be at the table for discussions aimed at fostering research and innovation in cardiovascular care--or, arguably more importantly, ensuring a stable, informed, and reliable cardiovascular workforce for the future.
