This commitment builds on an investment of more than $100 million the health system made in its heart and vascular services over the past 10 years, according to the release.
The health system will invest the $30 million in outreach, collaboration, technologies and programs. KentuckyOne plans to expand its hybrid operating room technology, its cardio diagnostics ambulatory platform and its programs for transcatheter aortic-valve replacement, imaging, arrhythmia and peripheral vascular disease, among others.
To enhance physician alignment, KentuckyOne will also expand its heart and vascular physician network within a clinically integrated network; strengthen partnerships and affiliations with healthcare continuum partners; and invest in the ambulatory electronic health records.
In addition to the $30 million investment, KentuckyOne announced the appointments of Mark Slaughter, MD, as executive director of cardiovascular services for the KentuckyOne Health Louisville market, and Robert Salley, MD, as executive director of Cardiovascular Services in the Lexington market.
