@ISHVnews @InovaHealth Heart Failure and Shock Symposium continues with an outstanding discussion on challenges in shock team activation and logistics - how do we do this with higher fidelity and less heterogeneity? @RanLeeMD @vbluml @ShashankSinhaMD

Last day of @HoustonShockHSS kicking off with discussions on the real world logistics of delivering shock care and the financial sustainability of shock programs - you can’t do shock well if you don’t review your outcomes and work towards iterative improvement.
