Elevate Your Structural Heart Program
As structural heart programs expand and navigate rapid advances in therapies and technologies, ensuring appropriate patient selection and delivering consistent evidence-based care across the patient care continuum has never been more important.
Transcatheter Valve Certification provides a framework for standardizing patient selection, reducing clinical variation, strengthening multidisciplinary team collaboration, optimizing procedural care and using data to drive continuous quality improvement in:
- Transcatheter valve aortic replacement procedures (TAVR)
- Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) procedures
Strengthen your organization's reputation as a leader in cardiovascular excellence while improving outcomes for patients when they need it most. The ACC celebrates and promotes your achievements annually, helping elevate your visibility and leadership within the cardiovascular community.
How Certification Empowers Teams to Navigate Innovation with Confidence
Transcatheter Valve Certification supports safe, effective and patient-centered care by using two foundational pillars: Governance and Quality. The program helps organizations reduce variation, enhance program performance and ensure patients receive evidence-based care through their treatment journey. Through this certification, organizations can:
- Strengthen multidisciplinary team collaboration
- Standardize patient evaluation and treatment decision-making
- Optimize patient selection criteria for same-day discharge
- Promote evidence-based procedural care
- Improve care coordination across the patient journey
- Monitor outcomes and drive continuous quality improvement
- Demonstrate a commitment to quality, safety and program excellence
Every facility is paired with an Accreditation Review Specialist (ARS) who serves as a dedicated partner throughout your accreditation process. Your ARS provides personalized guidance, answers questions and helps teams navigate requirements with confidence.
Certified organizations monitor key clinical and operational measures that support patient outcomes, including:
- Risk-adjusted mortality
- Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) rates
- Major vascular complications
- Major Bleeding events
- Same-day discharge rates
- Length of stay
- Readmission rates
- Appropriate patient selection
Aligned to Your Data Strategy
Accepted data sources may include the nationally recognized STS/ACC TVT Registry™ and other approved state or governmental databases that track quality metrics related to transcatheter valve procedures.
