Olathe Medical Center is among the first hospitals in the Kansas City area to implement the latest technology in obtaining and storing cardiovascular data. The Marquette MUSE Cardiovascular Information System collects, analyzes and stores data. It will allow rapid comparisons to previous diagnostic tests on file. Instant computer analysis of the current electrocardiogram now in place gives physicians and nurses the edge in providing optimal patient care.

KCC Recovery Unit
Lucretia Craig, RN, Kansas Cardiovascular Center, Director
“The KCC Recovery Unit is designed to care for outpatient cardiac and special procedures patients. It was created to provide a nurse to phone patients to discuss their scheduled outpatient catherizations the night before to alleviate concerns and answer questions. The following day, the patient arrives already feeling a connection to the staff. They educate, prep and release the patient to the cath lab staff for their procedure. Once completed, the patient is returned to recover and ensure they are ready to return home. The unit has a comfortable environment with as little viewable medical equipment as possible to aid in maintaining a low anxiety level. Same day procedures such as transesophageal echos, tilt table exams and cardioversions are performed in this area. The staff is well prepared to handle any post-procedure issue."
