EP Lab Efficiencies-Introduction: EP Lab Efficiencies

Video Transcription

Improving the quality of care that we deliver in EP Labs is not some faraway idea.  I'm proud to introduce a new series from HRS on EP Lab Efficiencies where we address exactly this issue.  On May 27, 2021, a group of Heart Rhythm Society members and staff had the good fortune to visit Dr. Jose Osorio and his EP team at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama.  The purpose of our visit was to learn about the improvement processes that they have put in place  to enhance both quality and efficiency for the electrophysiology procedures that they perform.  HRS members in attendance included electrophysiologists at different stages of their own quality improvement journeys.  This video series captures our group's observations and the many lessons learned during the visit from our own experiences as well as from the experiences of the Grandview team.  In the following video presentation, we share these experiences with you.  We are sharing them because we believe that the transformational approach to quality improvement that Dr. Osorio and his team  have implemented successfully at their program in Birmingham can easily be accomplished in EP Labs everywhere, including yours.

Video Summary

The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) has launched a new series called EP Lab Efficiencies to address the improvement of care in EP Labs. HRS members recently visited Dr. Jose Osorio and his team at the Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama to learn about their processes for enhancing quality and efficiency in electrophysiology procedures. The video series captures their observations and experiences, with the belief that the successful approach implemented in Birmingham can be replicated in EP Labs across the board. This video presentation aims to share their experiences and encourage transformational quality improvement in EP Labs everywhere.
