Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital in Vero Beach has earned multiple recognitions from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) that reflect its dedication to high quality cardiac care. These significant achievements include: Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation, Electrophysiology Accreditation, and Transcatheter Valve Certification.
The accreditations are based on rigorous onsite assessment of the staff’s ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients who come to the cardiac cath lab or the electrophysiology lab. Hospitals receiving accreditation from the ACC must take part in a multi-faceted clinical process and meet or exceed an array of stringent criteria.
Earlier this year, ACC certified the hospital’s Transcatheter Aortic Valve Therapy (TAVR) Program based on evaluation of the TAVR team’s ability to meet standards for multidisciplinary teams, formalized training, shared decision-making and registry performance.
“We are extremely proud of our cardiac care team members and their dedication to implementing best practices to standardize patient care, optimize patient outcomes and increase quality measurement,” said David Peter, MD, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital.
