BIRMINGHAM, AL – The American College of Cardiology (ACC) has recognized Grandview Medical Center for its demonstrated expertise and commitment in treating patients receiving transcatheter valve repair and replacement procedures. Grandview was awarded Transcatheter Valve Certification based on evaluation of the staff’s ability to meet standards for multidisciplinary teams, formalized training, shared decision-making and registry performance.
The ACC’s Transcatheter Valve Certification is an external review and certification process that pairs with established national clinical databases to monitor patient safety and real-world outcomes related to transcatheter valve therapies. Participation in established national clinical databases such as the STS/ACC TVT Registry is required for hospitals interested in achieving Transcatheter Valve Certification.
“We are incredibly proud of our cardiology team here at Grandview,” said Daniel McKinney, CEO of Grandview. “This certification recognizes the commitment of our physicians and staff to striving for excellence in patient care.”
The certification uses established national clinical measures to support clinical decisions and links process improvement to patient outcomes. Hospitals that achieve Transcatheter Valve Certification learn best practices for implementing evidence-based medicine to support patient-centered decision-making and can track key performance metrics to better identify opportunities for improvement.
