These Society sponsored educational programs are designed to assist facilities in their preparation for a Chest Pain Center accreditation review. They are not required, but are very strongly recommended . Facilities that participate in accreditation education tend to have less difficulty with the application process, spend less time preparing for the review and have fewer returned applications.
Participants will lea rn the criteria for review, the review process, and what qualifies a facility for accreditation. There are three educational formats: Online Education, Open Call-in Forums, and Regional Workshops. Registration is limited and available positions are filled on a first come, first served basis.
-
Online Educational Format- Because this format is internet based, it is the most accessible and economical method of obtaining information related to meeting the intent of each Key Element. The online education course can be accessed at any time and as often as desired. Purchase of an accreditation manual is required to participate in the online education sessions. The online course fee is included in the purchase of an accreditation manual. The online education video running time is approximately 2.5 hours. Viewing the entire video is strongly recommended, as it will increase your accreditation success and reduce your preparation time. Process Improvement methodology is not covered. You may start and stop the video, rewind, fast forward and return as often as you like. This online format has replaced the monthly Tele-workshops.
