The American College of Cardiology Foundation is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The ACCF designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 4.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Nurses
American College of Cardiology Foundation is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

The ACCF designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 4.75 continuing education hours. Each attendee should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

While offering credits noted above, the course is not intended to provide extensive training or certification in this field.

Statement of Need
While cardiovascular care is rapidly evolving due to new technologies and treatment options, healthcare providers need to be aware of the new heath care environment in which they practice as well as knowledge of the past advances and technologies which contributed to the current standards of optimal cardiovascular care.  Healthcare providers need periodic educational updates on emerging clinical trials and advances in patient management to provide optimal care.  Knowledge and competencies learned from case scenarios applicable to daily practice and changes to practice guidelines, will allow them to apply evidence-based research to their patient management decisions

Overall Goal
The overall goal of this activity is to increase learner competence by discovering strategies to anticipate research-driven changes in practice, to enhance professional growth, and to demonstrate efficacy in patient care practice as new clinical approaches and technologies change. The Indiana Chapter-ACC Annual Meeting will include education that provides needs-based learning covering a thorough overview of health care legislation and regulations, provider wellness, TAVR, cardiovascular imaging, and improving performance by using appropriate guidelines based treatment.

Learner Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Identify tools, resources, and regulations that impact the practice environment and review the basic elements of cardiovascular business best practices necessary to become or remain financially successful in an era of payment reform.
• Describe principles of workforce wellness.
• Distinguish the utilization of newer available therapies for aortic valve disease, including TAVR, and appropriate referral patients for these treatments.
• Apply the appropriate selection and use of cardiac imaging in patients with cardiac disease.

Target Audience
Adult Cardiologists, Pediatric Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Cardiology Fellows-in-Training, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists
