Excellence"
SHAPE has launched a nationwide collaborative project with J & J
Medical, a medical education company, to establish the new
SHAPE-Certified Clinics and SHAPE Centers of Excellence as part of
the "SHAPE Heart Attack Eradication Campaign".
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) October 25, 2009 -- The Society for Heart
Attack Prevention and Eradication (SHAPE), an international
organization based in Houston, Texas has entered into an agreement
with J&J Medical, a medical education company based in Columbia,
South Carolina, to establish SHAPE Centers of Excellence throughout
the nation. J&J Medical team has extensive experience in conducting
educational programs and hands-on workshops for clinicians to learn
the latest in coronary CT imaging.
The initial focus of the collaboration will be the introduction of
the new SHAPE-Certified Clinics and SHAPE Centers of Excellence as
part of the SHAPE Heart Attack Eradication Campaign. The campaign
will be launched with the implementation of nationwide comprehensive
educational workshops to educate local and national CT operators,
cardiologists, and the referring physician communities about the
extensive scientific research and clinical application of coronary
artery calcium studies. In addition, the proper and appropriate
utilization of CAC studies in the daily quest for superior patient
outcomes involving their CAD patient management programs will be
emphasized.
To assure unrestricted access to high quality, outcomes-oriented CAC
centers, J&J will immediately begin the establishment of a national
network of standardized SHAPE/HeartHealth Certified 'Centers of
Excellence'. At the sites, the very latest science-based, proven
outcomes- oriented CAC protocols, standards, and guidelines will be
applied across the network to achieve standardized CAC imaging, data
processing, and results reporting.
