Economic impact of TAVI pathway optimisation: the experience of the University Hospital of Parma
This study showed a process of optimisation of the TAVI pathway highlighting the positive impacts for patients, caregivers, healthcare workers, and the hospital. A Clinical Valve Coordinator may help to manage the procedural programme for individual patients while maintaining seamless communication with the Heart Team throughout the patient care journey, making the process even more streamlined. The case study analysed can be useful to all hospitals wishing to undertake processes aimed at improving the TAVI pathway.
