Survey Results: CCS Benchmarks for Access to Cardiovascular Care
 
Survey findings from a targeted national CCS survey of tertiary cardiac care centres will form the basis of a workshop planned for Congress in October.
 
How many cardiac care centres have access targets and monitor wait times? What are the average wait times for cardiovascular services and procedures? What is the level of awareness and support for the benchmarks developed by the CCS?
 
Answers to these questions and more will be revealed in this workshop on Tuesday, October 23rd.
