approaches that targeted infrastructure, clinical care, sys­tems, education, and electronic tools did improve patient care by decreasing time to diagnosis and surgical repair and increasing the use of beta blockers and intraoperative TEEE imaging [50]. Multidisciplinary centers should thus develop protocols to standardize and streamline pathways of care.
Protocols may address elective and emergent cases, along with functional aspects of care. An aortic center should develop elective and functional protocols to struc­ture and organize diagnostic processes, basic procedural techniques, OR and ICU care, and postoperative manage­ment. Protocols for initial treatment should address radio­logic evaluation, initial stabilization, and management. Functional protocols may address ventilation weaning and extubation, along with pain and blood pressure control. Emergent protocols such as “code aorta” or “code rupture” streamline patient transport, imaging, and team mobiliza­tion, creating a life-saving reduction in time from presenta­tion to intervention. Emergent protocols should address what tests should be done and what criteria a patient should fulll in order for a code to be called, along with outlining

Any protocol or code should standardize and streamline care for patients. In a multidisciplinary center, the importance of effective protocols is increased, as the wider range of specialists involved in patient care necessitates planning for pathways of collaboration

patient transport and team activation (Fig. 40.4). Once implemented and proven efcient in the setting of the aortic center, emergent protocols should be offered and imple­mented in surrounding institutions and the community in order to provide rapid diagnosis, transport, and treatment to a wider radius of patients.
Aortic Clinics andElectronic Health Records
Developing an aortic clinic may be benecial to the center and institution at many levels. An outpatient clinic provides opportunities for outreach and screening initiatives, as well as clinical education programs. A clinic can provide a sim­ple point of contact for referring physicians, emergency departments, and patients while also standardizing pre- and postoperative testing and surveillance. Creation of a clinic within the multidisciplinary aortic center provides an infor­mation link with surrounding facilities and within the cen­ter itself, allowing the integration of information from referring physicians and multidisciplinary experts.

adoption of electronic health records (EHR) may be key in improving communication and collaboration in a multidis­ciplinary center and its contributing network. In a clinical care setting, EHR allow everyone involved in a patient’s care to easily access relevant information, streamlining care by preventing redundancy and ensuring timely and accurate documentation. In 2012, less than half of US hos­pitals had successfully implemented EHR, suggesting that this may be an area to target in small and rural hospitals, to provide external as well as internal continuity [51]. However, the use of EHR is increasing due to nancial incentives for EHR who fulll “meaningful use” criteria [52]. The creation of a clinic, along with the use of EHR, contributes not only to quality and coordination of care but also to the quality of information provided for research using an aortic database.
Benets ofaGrowing Program
There are many benets in developing a multidisciplinary aortic center. The increase in volume as reputation increases improves patient outcomes and provides research opportu­nities. Multidisciplinary centers also have the capacity to improve patient satisfaction, an increasingly important consideration in the shift to value-based reimbursement. Despite the high initial capital investment, multidisci­plinary centers have the potential to produce returns on investment, providing system-wide benets for the institu­tion and its contributors.
Volume andOutcomes
Increased physician and hospital volume has been associ­ated with improved patient outcomes, possibly due to the expertise generated by repetition of highly specialized pro­cedures [5355]. There has been a trend in recent years toward the regionalization of AAA repair, with the percent­age of AAA repairs performed at high-volume centers increasing from 12.9% to 30.9% between 1998 and 2004 [56]. In a 2009 study utilizing the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s Nationwide Inpatient Sample, McPhee and colleagues found that high-volume centers and teach­ing institutions were associated with lower mortality rates in patients undergoing endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms [57]. In 2002, a study using information from the national Medicare claims database and Nationwide Inpatient Sample examined the mortality rates associated with six types of cardiovascular procedures as they related to hospital volume. Although the percentage of mortality rate decrease associated with high-volume hospitals was less than 2% in some procedures, the consistent decrease in
hospital mortality rates further supports the trend toward performing complex cardiovascular procedures in high­volume centers to improve outcomes [ analysis of Medicare claims mortality data [59] and an analysis conducted by the nonprot Leapfrog Group [60] both found an inverse relationship between institutional volume and mortality in a range of surgical procedures. Although there is some controversy surrounding this issue [6163], increased procedural volume does appear to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes [64].
58]. In fact, a 2014
Research, Registries, andClinical Trials
A center’s increased volume and recognition will provide opportunities to participate in and conduct research regard­ing aortic pathology and treatment. One such opportunity may involve collaborating with industry partners to conduct clinical trials evaluating treatments and technology. Because of the specic requirements establishing criteria for patients to be involved in clinical trials, having a higher surgical vol­ume will increase the likelihood of treating qualifying patients. Participation in trials for stent grafts, medications, and other treatment techniques and technologies can provide valuable information about effectiveness and outcomes, con­tributing to the eld and promoting innovation.
With the increase in volume that is likely to result from the creation of a center, multidisciplinary aortic centers also have the opportunity and responsibility to expand registries and research efforts to improve clinical quality tracking and benchmarking. Creation of registries to drive performance improvement are one of the most challenging areas related to vascular services, and outcomes-based registries for vascular services are under-represented [65]. Barriers to creation of effective registries include the wide range of vascular inter­ventions and unclear quality endpoints. The research poten­tial provided by expanded vascular registries will improve identication and early diagnosis of potential patients, along with informing best practice protocols for technology, proce­dure, and care strategies. The development of such registries will facilitate performance monitoring and allow data-driven performance improvement, along with providing data to improve outcomes-based research identifying genetic, social, behavioral, and other factors contributing to vascular disease and sources of poor patient outcomes.
Planning how data will be collected and how outcomes will be tracked is important in the development of a multidisciplinary center [66]. Research collected should allow the center to monitor and improve morbidity and mortality rates, present cumulative history and experience, track referral patterns, and provide the ability to present outcomes. Registry design should be undertaken by plan­ning committees involving all stakeholders and should

incorporate comprehensive longitudinal data on disease management, risk modication, and medical treatment as well as procedural interventions. Vascular benchmarks should be established, such as in- hospital mortality rate, length of stay, readmission rate, and nancial aspects of care [67]. The use of protocols to standardize pathways of care can facilitate improved collection and monitoring of outcomes data. Patient-tracking capabilities are essential, as providing standardized outcomes data builds institu­tional knowledge and outcomes and can also contribute to collaborative research initiatives. EHR may thus play a novel role beyond clinical care, providing information for research purposes [68]. The regular generation of patient­specic information results in vast amounts of data with the potential to signicantly contribute to research. However, it is important to employ mechanisms to ensure quality of data provided by EHR, as there is potential for incomplete and inaccurate data capture [69]. Ensuring adequate resource support for the creation and management of regis­tries is essential to the collection of quality data, as is the establishment of standardized protocols, staff accountabil­ity, and regular committee review.
Patient Satisfaction andQuality ofCare
A multidisciplinary center has the capacity to improve qual­ity of care and patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction is becoming an important consideration in healthcare since pay for performance and value-based reimbursement programs depend partially on patient satisfaction and experiences to determine nancial bonuses. It has been shown that patient satisfaction may be a multidimensional concept that may not serve as a valid quality indicator and that the relationship between patient satisfaction and outcomes and cost is not well-dened [70, 71]. However, having patient satisfaction may improve patient outcomes because satised patients are more likely to comply with treatment plans, seek advice, maintain a relationship with their physician, and come in for follow-up, all key elements to successful long-term manage­ment of disease [7274]. The use of electronic health records, when there is emphasis on physician dialogue and communi­cation, has been shown to engage patients and allow them to feel more involved and in control of their care, increasing satisfaction [75]. Other factors associated with patient satis­faction include hospital size, surgical volume, low mortality, and hospital stay experience [76]. However, nursing may be the key area to highlight in increasing patient satisfaction, as patient satisfaction has been associated with a variety of nursing factors [77, 78]. In particular, interpersonal care experiences have been shown to inuence patient satisfac-
tion and may independently impact outcomes secondary to the therapeutic relationship combining emotional and cogni­tive care [ undeniably linked to quality of care, it may be associated and is worth examining, especially as healthcare shifts from a focus on the physician and volume toward patient and value focus.
79]. Overall, while patient satisfaction cannot be
Return onInvestment
Development costs and capital investment are notable in the creation of an aortic center. Depending on the initial capaci­ties and capabilities of the institution, operational costs may increase as 24-hour teams are implemented. However, the most costly investments are likely to be equipment required to provide for a range of treatments and care. Hybrid suites and support equipment, along with stocking of stent, wire, and catheter inventory, are necessary for the treatment of various aortic pathologies but represent signicant costs which should be addressed in creating a business plan. It is difcult to generalize about institutional gains provided by the development of a multidisciplinary aortic center since models vary signicantly between various existing centers. However, initial capital investments are likely to be offset by increased volume as reputation improves. While the initial nancial and resource requirements to create a multidisci­plinary aortic center involve a signicant capital investment, a center can expect to benet in the long term from quality improvement and associated cost savings. Many hospital systems receive much of their reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid. With the shifting state of insurance designs and coverage, the health care system must adapt and adjust to transitions to stay solvent [80]. The Affordable Care Act is currently driving the transformation to a value-based insur­ance design [8183]. This model emphasizes individual patient care and offers incentives for systems who adopt the guidelines for “Accountable Care Organizations” set forth by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) [84]. These guidelines also reward the reduction in readmissions secondary to infection, the use of electronic health records, and preventative services, basing incentives on relative improvement as well as reaching CMS-established bench­marks. As health care plans continue to shift with new politi­cal leadership, all health care systems, including aortic centers, must be prepared to adapt their strategies to uncer­tain developments and policies [85]. However, it seems likely that the emphasis on payments tied to quality or value is a trend that will continue, with Health and Human Services having set a goal of tying 90% of all Medicare payments to value or quality by 2018 [86]. Therefore, the development of

multidisciplinary care, which offers a high quality of care and increased value due to its ability to provide a cross­continuum of care, is likely to result in returns on invest­ment, as reimbursement becomes tied to longitudinal efciency and outcomes.
Conclusions
A multidisciplinary aortic center has the capacity to improve patient outcomes by coordinating a multidisciplinary team of experts and specialists who collaborate to improve diagno­sis, treatment, and longitudinal surveillance of aortic pathol­ogy, providing a cross-continuum of care. Creation of such a center involves planning to determine organization and structure, the development of vascular and multidisciplinary teams, and the mechanisms for their collaboration, as well as targeted marketing and networking to identify patients and create a strong referral base. Contributions to the eld through research and innovation and the ability to offer high­quality care support the move toward a multidisciplinary approach to aortic care. The development of a multidisci­plinary aortic center has been shown to have many benets, and further research will identify even more common fea­tures of successful centers in order to inform future models for multidisciplinary aortic centers.
