Data paralysis blog series, Part 2 Understanding the Challenge: More Data, Less Action In the first part of this series, we examined why so many leaders in cardiovascular programs find themselves treading water by oceans of data. The issue is not a lack of information. On the contrary, most programs are inundated with dashboards, reports and analytics support. The real challenge emerges after the data is reviewed. When information is fragmented or inconsistent, the decision-making process slows dramatically. Meetings become more frequent, leaders request additional versions of the numbers, and despite the abundance of reporting, meaningful progress is often stalled.

Data paralysis blog series, Part 1 Drowning in Data, Starved for Clarity: The Cardiovascular Program Dilemma You know that feeling when you open a dashboard and immediately regret it. Not because the numbers are bad, but because there are too many to know where to start. If you've ever stared at a report and thought, “I should know what this means, but I honestly don’t,” you are not the problem. The system is.

Why the Future of Cardiology Depends on Ambulatory Team Design

At CV Transforum Fall’25 in Austin, I found myself discussing the 2026 coding changes with a cardiovascular provider. As a coding expert, it struck me how often these conversations highlight the wide range of perspectives and experiences across our field – and how quickly the reimbursement policies affecting cardiovascular care continue to evolve. Many of us have been working in cardiovascular care long enough to remember the last major overhaul of lower extremity coding back in 2011. Since then, the world – and our specialty – has changed profoundly. Advances in technology, new devices, expanded treatment options, and evolving clinical practice patterns have outpaced the structure of the current codes.

Read the second blog in this two-part series. If you've ever spent a day in the catheterization (cath) or electrophysiology (EP) lab, you know that how the day starts often dictates how the rest of it unfolds. A delayed first case can create a ripple effect that impacts patient flow, staff morale, provider satisfaction and even financial performance, but labs across the country are struggling to get that first case started on time.
