A Stamp of Excellence
Payors are absolutely looking at the Society as a stamp of excellence. So when you're approaching managed care contracts, you're able to say, "Yes, I am accredited at my center." We're accredited at all five centers for Chest Pain and that carries value and that carries weight.
Elizabeth Maiorana, Corporate Divisional Director Cardiovascular Services, Vice President, Meridian Health -
I think that the vision for the society is just very, very exciting.
I think it's going to take cardiovascular services to a new level. I really have been impressed with the work that each of the accreditation groups has done to strengthen accreditation. I just think over time, it's really becoming a stronger and stronger society.
