As a community focused on bi-directional education and bi-directional exchange, we will only be successful in our pursuit of innovation with participation from you, our valued members and partners. Let’s transform cardiovascular care, together!

Cardiovascular care is awash in evidence-based guidelines, expert consensus documents and performance criteria. These are all intended to improve outcomes and transform care into something better, but transformation can’t happen until we take the science and translate it into delivering the care itself.

After two years of virtual conferences, the cardiovascular community reunited in Washington, DC, at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session & Expo (ACC.22)! MedAxiom was thrilled to participate in ACC.22 and connect with cardiovascular leaders from around the globe. While the world has changed drastically since MedAxiom became an ACC Company three years ago, both organizations remain dedicated to our joint mission: to transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health. 

Over the last several months, employers across the country have been challenged with navigating “the Great Resignation.” Across all industries, leaders and human resources business partners are scrambling to quickly solve a complex retention issue. While retention is important for every industry it’s critical in healthcare, especially in cardiology.

Over the past few weeks, there has been a robust dialogue amongst cardiovascular physician executives on the challenges of leading today’s programs. Topics range from creating an attractive environment for young talent - who have very different motivations than previous generations - to how to compensate physicians in a very complicated profession.

The acceleration of cardiovascular physician group acquisitions made business sense. However, the investment in cultivating the right culture and setting realistic expectations were undervalued. As with the analogy of a marriage, the failure to prioritize values and engage in conflict resolution are normal but can fracture the relationship between providers and hospitals if left unaddressed.
