Twelve questions — each one a place accountability tends to slip.
Governance Structure
Is there a single accountable owner for perfusion above every vendor and site?
Protocol Standardization
Do all hospitals run one clinical standard — or has each drifted its own way?
Independent QA/QI
Who measures perfusion quality: your organization, or the vendor grading itself?
Credentialing & Competency
Is every perfusionist — employed or contracted — independently verified and current?
Vendor Performance SLAs
Are your vendor contracts tied to measurable clinical and service metrics?
Adverse-Event Review
Are perfusion events independently investigated, with fixes verified system-wide?
STS & ELSO Data Integrity
Is your registry data complete, trustworthy, and visible to leadership?
Regulatory Readiness
Are you survey-ready today — or only in the scramble before a survey?
ECMO Program Governance
Is high-acuity mechanical support governed to ELSO-aligned standards?
Blood Conservation
Is patient blood management standardized across your cardiac programs?
Capital & Equipment Planning
Is capital planned across the fleet, or reactively, one purchase at a time?
Performance Visibility
Can leadership see quality and risk across every site on a single view?
