Clinical and Discharge Management of the Transradial PCI Patient

11/05/2017

Gary Clifton, Vice President, Terumo Business Edge, talks with Amit P. Amin¹, MD, MSc, Duane S. Pinto², MD, MPH, Sunil V. Rao³, MD, and William A. Rollefson⁴, MD.

We reached out to Dr. Amin this month and asked him to consult with his colleagues about their opinions and clinical practices centered around same-day discharge and the complexity of procedures. These physicians are experienced interventional cardiologists who utilize transradial access as primary access as a part of their everyday practice. Overall, it would appear that complexity of cases does not mutually exclude patients being ineligible for same-day discharge. — Gary Clifton, Vice President, Terumo Business Edge

You are Leaving Money on the Table by Admitting Low-Risk PCIs

10/04/2017

In this month’s article, Larry Sobal, MedAxiom Executive Vice President, and Nicole Knight, Director, Revenue Cycle Solutions, MedAxiom Consulting, share their qualified and experienced views and observations regarding what has become a contentious and incomplete understanding of what hospitals believe they are being reimbursed versus the costs they and their patients are incurring for the CMS patient undergoing a PCI procedure. Same-day discharge for PCI is fast becoming a hot-button topic, but the benefits financially for the hospital and patient, not to mention providing a service the customer (patient) may very well prefer compared to conventional overnight stays, should be strongly considered for any program addressing the growing trend towards patient consumerism, population health, and meeting the quadruple aim.

Dr. Mazhari and her colleagues have proven to be rapid adopters of transradial utilization, rapidly realizing the benefits to their program and their patients.
