What We Have Done:
Over the past 34 years, PCA has had the unique opportunity to originate, critically review, customize, and improve the quality of cardiovascular services rendered to a diverse patient population residing in Southern California. Since our inception we have been able to collect relevant patient data which permitted us to develop, analyze, and refine patient management guidelines and related cost data in the care and management of a population totaling over 3.5 million members.
Our efforts to fully integrate services, review outcomes, optimize care, implement and enforce practice guidelines and recruit well-trained cardiologists have, in the opinion of many, been exemplary. As co-authors of now nationally accepted clinical patient management algorithms and guidelines, we are confident that our quality will exceed your expectations. Our reputation within the community and our professional societies speaks for itself. Patient satisfaction and gratitude are a continual source of encouragement and pride.
