The document, published Aug. 30 in the AHA’s journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, standardized data elements for consistent reporting on chest pain cases and established new definitions for serious cardiovascular causes of chest pain and acute myocardial infarction.

The standardized definitions and data elements can be broadly applied across patient care settings, electronic health records, quality and performance improvement initiatives, registries and public reporting programs.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
