Quality Improvement Tools
Practical tools to document your strengths, identify opportunities for improvement and fulfill value-based care requirements.
Topics include: defining and implementing quality improvement, care coordination, operator, staff, and facility requirements, and QI in pediatric interventional cardiology.
Point-of-Care Apps
Access two point-of-care apps, SCAI's Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) App for Diagnostic Catheterization and Coronary Revascularization to apply indications from the latest AUC to clinical scenarios in your practice and, the SCAI PCI Calculator to estimate pre-intervention risks for mortality, acute kidney injury, and transfusion.
Heart Valve Initiative
The Heart Valve Disease Quality Initiative is a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder program aimed at addressing the appropriate detection and management of aortic stenosis. Read about the methodology and key findings that inform the development of interventions, research questions, and quality measure concepts.
Transradial Quality Initiative
SCAI's Transradial Quality Initiative, TRAnsition for VALUE, helps you to maximize the value of PCI. This program can help clinicians and administrators overcome barriers to implementation of a #RadialFirst strategy.
MIPS Resource Center
Find out more about the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs). Find out how you score against the four criteria and whether you are eligible for bonuses on your performance relative to a benchmark performance score.
Choosing Wisely
Choosing Wisely is an effort led by the ABIM Foundation to support and encourage physicians to avoid unnecessary medical tests, treatments, and procedures. SCAI and other medical societies have developed evidence-based recommendations to prompt conversations between patients and clinicians about the necessity and potential harm of certain interventions. Through the Quality Improvement Committee, SCAI maintains these recommendations with periodic updates as new evidence becomes available.
IAC Cardiovascular Catheterization Accreditation Program
This program is designed to accredit facilities that perform cardiovascular catheterization procedures by ensuring that benchmarks for quality are met based on resources, training and outcomes.
