Strategies for Cardiology Service Line Directors

Topping the list of must haves when rolling out a new complex PCI program are a solid mission to offer leading edge technology, top down administrative, physician and nursing leadership, a quest for quality and a well-oiled team. And in the case of 194-bed San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington, N.M., independence was on the list too as this very rural hospital must be self-reliant in caring for emergent patients. Their innate confidence fueled by ongoing training and protocols has served the heart team well and their advice is solid for care providers in urban, suburban and rural settings seeking to offer quality care while maintaining a healthy bottom line.
