ACP Foundation begins atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention initiative

The ACP Foundation held a National Stakeholder Conference on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2011 to address gaps in the management of atrial fibrillation and the prevention of stroke. The meeting was the culmination of the work of the National Steering Committee over the past 10 months.

The meeting presented a unique and timely opportunity for key leaders to participate in creating change that will potentially lead to a reduction in atrial fibrillation-related strokes. Participants discussed ways to bridge gaps in care management of atrial fibrillation through development and integration of innovative interventions into current care processes.

Stakeholders represented a diverse group of organizations and expertise, bringing together insights necessary to identify solutions to address this pressing health issue.
