About USC Cardiothoracic Surgery

Outcome Orientation

USC Cardiothoracic Surgeons pay close attention to outcomes -- a commitment that is truly a team effort. Patient coordinators, surgery schedulers, nurse coordinators and physician assistants together provide seamless care that is not only optimal for the patient’s clinical condition but that facilitates cost-effective outcomes as well.

We pay close attention to our standards of care, working closely with all of our hospitals to make sure that they provide appropriate care in a cost-effective manner. And through extensive patient data research and retrieval, we constantly monitor our patients’ satisfaction to ensure that their care is not compromised. This outcome orientation is good for the patient, good for the referring physicians and good for the third-party payors.
