According to the American Heart Association, although overall cardiovascular death rates have declined since 2001, one in three women still suffers from some form of cardiovascular disease. Despite stunning improvements in women’s cardiovascular cardiovascular mortality in the past two decades, heart disease remains understudied, under diagnosed and undertreated in women.
In half of all heart attacks among women, typical male symptoms are not present. Without acknowledging and differentiating treatments between men and women, heart disease will continue to pose a major threat.
Cardiac programs across the country must be prepared to handle the unique needs of the female cardiac patient. The prevalence of cardiovascular complications in women means that designing and managing an efficient Women’s Cardiac Department is more crucial than ever.
With women being the key healthcare decision makers, its business significance makes it a vital area of focus. ACI’s Women’s Cardiovascular Programs & Services will provide participants with the expert knowledge and tools to reduce costs, enhance revenue, and increase the overall market share of their Women’s Cardiac Departments.
Join us February 2-3, 2017 for a gathering of administrative and medical leaders. This three-day strategic business conference will focus on how hospitals and health systems can profitably expand their Women’s Cardiac facilities to meet the increased demand for gender-specialized services. Learn how to build a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Women’s Cardiac organization to bring the most progressive care to each patient. With the level of severity that Cardiac disease poses to our population, this is a conference that you cannot afford to miss.
