• Select appropriate, evidence-directed pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies to achieve optimal outcomes for patients with heart rhythm disorders.
• Recognize alternative perspectives regarding areas of controversy for which scientific evidence is insufficient, controversial, inconclusive, or confusing.
• Utilize quality improvement measures, methods, and tools to foster systems-based improvements in heart rhythm care, outcome, and value.
• Analyze and improve processes related to inter-professional teams, care coordination, patient engagement, and communication to optimize the delivery of patient- and family-centered care.
• Assess the impact of regulatory and institutional policies, and societal and cultural norms, on safety, timeliness, equity (including diversity and inclusion), effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centered care, and value.
• Utilize improved communication methods to engage with patients and caregivers for increased shared decision-making in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders
• Evaluate the latest technology available for both professionals and consumers in the field of heart rhythm disorders.
• Recognize disparities in health care and describe strategies to reduce these disparities in patient care.
• Utilize shared decision-making resources in discussing monitoring and treatment of patients with heart rhythm disorders.
• Describe the latest cardiac device advisories and/or recalls and explain how to share this information with patients and caregivers.
• Explain the current and future trends in digital health that will impact the treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
