Quality of care is at the center of all health care discussions today. As in the past, the ACC has taken the lead to provide cardiovascular professionals with the tools and resources they need to ensure the highest quality of health care for their patients and payers. Under ACC’s guidance, the cardiovascular community has developed clinical guidelines and consensus documents, continuing medical education and self-assessment tools, data collection and benchmarking tools, performance measures and appropriateness criteria. The ACC collaborates with and educates payers and regulatory agencies at state and national levels about how to determine quality of care.
