Using a member’s ACC transcript, the tracker will plot the credits/points earned against a clinicians certification and licensure requirements. Key features include: •         A mobile-friendly view of NCDR clinical performance data to review and track ongoing quality performance. •         Ability to create, track progress, and document implementation of self-guided clinical quality activities based on NCDR data. •         Ability to submit clinical practice improvement activities to medical specialty boards for MOC credit. •         Ability to submit improvement activities to CMS’ MIPS program for reimbursement. • Create and track your continuing education credits and/or maintenance of certification points needed for certification and licensure.

MCSAID is an educational application dedicated to the topic of mechanical cardiocirculatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. A basic section introduces the definitions and classifications of cardiogenic shock as well as some of the common devices used for hemodynamic support in unstable patients. There is an algorithm for helping understand the decision process depending on key clinical variables such as cardiac output and PAPI. There are also several weaning and escalation algorithm. A calculator section is available for some common hemodynamic variables used in MCS decision-making and is available for quick-reference throughout the algorithm. MCSAID is an educational application for medical professionals and is not intended for making medical diagnoses. Medical decisions must be made by licensed professionals with the entire context of a patient’s medical history. If you are seeking a medical diagnosis, contact your physician and if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency medical services.
