Why the study?
Finite health care resources and personnel necessitate examining the impact of developing technology like clinical intracardiac electrophysiologic studies on the practice and cost of medical care without diminishing effectiveness.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This report provides ACC/AHA guidelines for clinical intracardiac electrophysiologic studies to optimize medical care effectiveness and cost.
It is becoming more apparent each day that despite a strong national commitment to excellence in health care, the resources and personnel are finite.Therefore, it is appropriate that the medical profession examine the impact of developing tech- nology on the practice and cost of medical care.Such analysis, carefully conducted, could potentially impact on the cost of medical care without diminishing the effectiveness of that care.To this end, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association in 1980 established a Task Force on Assessment of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Cardiovascular Procedures with the following charge:The Task Force of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association shall define the role of specific noninvasive and "Guidelines for Clinical Intracardiac Electrophysiologic Stud- ies" were approved by the American College of Cardiology Board of Trustees on March 19, 1989, and by the American Heart Association SAC/Steering Review Committee on June 9, 1989.
