Optimizing the Cath Lab

In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Jayme Zage, PhD, is joined by Vizient Senior Director Joshua Aaker, PhD, to explore how health systems can tackle rising cardiovascular (CV) demand amid growing capacity constraints—especially in the cath lab. As transcatheter valve procedures expand and outpatient volumes surge, cath labs are becoming a critical bottleneck for growth and performance. Jayme and Joshua discuss how organizations can use scenario planning tools, data-driven insights and operational alignment to optimize cath lab utilization without defaulting to costly new construction. Tune in to learn how strategy, finance, operations and quality leaders can come together to future-proof CV services.
