Innovating AFib Care: Overcoming Challenges Using Viz.ai's Data-Driven Solutions
At HRX, Jonathan Hsu, MD, MAS, FHRS shares his experience with Viz.ai’s post-acute workflow solution, Viz Connect, and how it simplifies care coordination for post-acute stroke patients with suspected AFib.
Cryptogenic stroke is a prevalent cause of stroke recurrence
Post-acute stroke care can oftentimes be challenging, particularly when dealing with cryptogenic strokes. Cryptogenic strokes contribute to hospital readmissions, leading to prolonged stays and a significant economic burden. Streamlining care coordination between neurology and cardiology is crucial in optimizing the post-acute stroke care pathway. This is where Viz.ai excels.
