Welcome to PCI Essentials On-Line! The Team of Experts at Corazon are delighted to bring you the latest information on the development of a full-service interventional cardiology program at your organization. Whether you are seeking support for state approval, preparing to institute an elective or primary angioplasty program without on-site surgical support, or interested in expanding your scope of PCI services to round-the-clock coverage, this Module offers your organization the templates, protocols, documentation and implementation plan needed to assure that you are bringing a high quality, best practice program to your community.

This Module contains everything required, from equipment and supply lists to an education program for your professional staff. For the planner, there are sample state submissions, Board education materials and a snapshot of the current trends taking place in the PCI arena. For the medical staff, we have provided guidelines for qualifications, medical coverage, standing orders, and credentialing to assist in your decision-making. The clinical professionals will benefit from a comprehensive collection of policies, protocols, and patient flow worksheets to save staff time and expedite the documentation process. Financial experts at your facility will be able to access budgetary and coding information that will give a solid basis to your financial planning effort. All of this information, experience and draft documentation is just a click away.

Corazon stands ready to assist you to provide facilitation and advice during the four scheduled conference calls included in the PCI Module or to help you to troubleshoot any issues that may surface throughout the implementation process or with the use of this product. Information on how to access Corazon’s consulting services including business planning and financial forecasting for your PCI program can be found by clicking the Options category of the Module.

As an enhancement to this PCI Module, Corazon has partnered with other experts in the field to add practical insight and ‘lessons learned’ to these implementation tools. Dr. Thomas Wharton, M.D., F.A.C.C., a respected interventional cardiologist and pioneer in PCI programs without on-site surgical support, joins this effort as Corazon’s Medical Advisor for the Corazon Coronary Angioplasty (PCI) Module. In this role, Dr. Wharton has reviewed and approved all the components of the PCI Module and will also assure that the components of Corazon’s PCI Essentials are updated regularly with any new developments or changes in the field of interventional cardiology. Dr. Wharton is available to meet with your organization and key medical staff to educate your Project Team on current practice and offer recommendations on the best course of action to bring the next level of cardiac care to your community.

Likewise, our partners at Uniontown Hospital have agreed to share their documentation and implementation process derived from their unique status as an early participant in Pennsylvania ’s PCI Demonstration Project for PCI programs without on-site surgical support. Corazon assisted the leadership of Uniontown Hospital in receiving state approval to proceed and worked side-by-side with the Uniontown staff throughout the implementation process and follow-up reporting. This experience offers subscribers to PCI Essentials the opportunity to learn from Uniontown’s success in developing a high quality PCI program and the experience gained in bringing this new service to their community. As with Dr. Wharton, Uniontown hospital has agreed to provide site visits to licensees of Corazon’s PCI Essentials. For more details on the terms and how to arrange a meeting with Dr. Wharton or to visit the Uniontown site, please refer to the Options Category and click on Site Visits.
