\"08<\/a>Rising hospital census and physical space limitations have hindered volume growth for the UNC Medical Center Cath Lab. \u00a0Same day discharge opportunities have offered some leverage to add volume without requiring more hospital beds or overnight observation.<\/p>\n

In addition to Henion, the study team included Joe Rossi<\/a>, MD; Rick Stouffer<\/a>, MD; Lauren E. Kearns, MSN, RN-BC; Jennifer Lukes, MSN, RN, CVRN; and Maggie Cannon, CSSBB (coach).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
