On-Demand Chest Pain Center Accreditation Training

To meet the needs of facility representatives, Accreditation training is conveniently available in on-demand format. Each pre-recorded training module includes step-by-step guidance to help facility staff identify the Essential Components of Accreditation and to effectively utilize the online Accreditation tools. The learning objectives of the pre-recorded workshop are found below.

Links to the on-demand training are located in the "Workshop" tab of your Chest Pain Center Accreditation tool. This pre-recorded workshop is designed for healthcare professionals who intend to take their facility through the Chest Pain Center Accreditation process.
