Agenda will prepare hospital and program leaders for changing tides in the cardiovascular industry
Cardiovascular services consistently rank, both strategically and financially, as the most important product line for both large and small acute care hospitals, accounting for 20-40% of net revenue. Indeed, hospitals must continually strive not only to maintain, but also to expand, their share of the cardiovascular market. But, with advancing technology, increasing costs, and changing regulations nationwide, maintaining a leading-edge program is ever more challenging.
Corazon The Heart & Vascular Experts, a Pittsburgh-based firm with a newly-opened office in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, offers specialized advice and innovative thinking for strategic cardiovascular program development. The Corazon team assists clients across the country with the full spectrum of consulting and recruitment services from feasibility study and business planning through clinical readiness and all facets of a successful implementation, including executive search for key cardiovascular service line leaders.
