The role facilitates SHD quality committees for TAVR, MitraClip/TEER, and LAAO (Watchman), ensuring alignment between clinical practice, registry outcomes, and national benchmarks. Beyond program-specific responsibilities, the coordinator contributes to broader Heart & Vascular Outcomes initiatives and cross-coverage, supporting depth and continuity across cardiovascular registries, accreditation activities, and PI work.
