Top Three Issues in Cardiology Today
I am Ryan Mohammed, a writer for Becker's Healthcare. Today I'm speaking with Gordon Wesley, Vice President of Advance Health, Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute. Gordon has an extensive background in the medical field and currently works with Advent Health. The top three biggest issues in cardiology today that Gordon sees are access, regulatory issues, and integration.
Future of Heart Care
In the next 18 months, heart care will evolve by focusing on meaningful relationships with physicians, competition, leveraging technology, and partnerships. Gordon is excited about the opportunities to deliver care using technology and innovation, but he is also nervous about the adoption of these changes.
The Changing Face of Electrophysiology and Structural Heart
Gordon is excited about the new frontiers in electrophysiology and structural heart, but is cautious about the changes to experts in the field. He believes that there should be succession planning for experts so they can leave on a high note, and that hospitals need to keep high standards at ASEs and practice cath labs.
