Abstract
The Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC) was founded in 1998 after a meeting held in Dearborn, Michigan, where a partnership between emergency department physicians and cardiologists was born. This collaboration established the goals of breaking down the silos in the care of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patient and reducing cardiovascular mortality. SCPC has two primary strategies to accomplish these goals—education and accreditation. In the years that followed, these strategies expanded to include not only the care of the ACS patient but also heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) populations.
