The interventional cardiology program will be open for emergent cases 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will have a set schedule for diagnostic and nonemergent procedures, according to a news release.
“When it comes to cardiac emergencies, time is muscle. Having a catheterization lab close to home means patients will have speedier access to expert care, and that leads to better outcomes, especially for those experiencing a life-threatening event such as a heart attack,” Giora Weisz, MD, medical director of interventional cardiology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, said in a statement.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
