OCTAID vs ICD-CRT Appropriate Use Utilisation & Stats
The OCT App is an educational tool which has been developed as a means to teach intra-coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) with the goal of making it easy to understand for physicians all over the world.
There is rising interest among interventional cardiologists to learn OCT given its ability to help with image analysis, determination of plaque characteristics, visualization of intra-coronary pathology and stent optimization.
Mount Sinai Heart is a global leader within the field of interventional cardiology; the myriad of cases and pathology which are seen in The Mount Sinai Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory make it the perfect center to educate medical professionals within this field.
The OCTAID app will teach the principles of intra-coronary imaging and the technique of how to perform and understand OCT pullback images. Users will also come away with an increased confidence in how to interpret various notable and commonly seen examples with labeled images and explanations. Finally, there is a link to an interactive portal where users can test their knowledge of the material with still images and pullback videos.
This mobile application can be used on-the-go all over the world and it gives medical professionals globally exposure and access to cutting edge technology they may not be able to receive otherwise. As the field of intra-coronary imaging expands, so too will the use of optical coherence tomography. There is a need for a means to educate medical professionals on how to perform and interpret OCT and this app meets those needs for a global audience.

The ICD/CRT Appropriate Use Criteria App provides decision and documentation support for clinicians assessing the suitability of ICD implantation and CRT. After selecting ICD or CRT as the intended therapy, clinicians will enter a patient’s LVEF and NYHA class to:
• Obtain an appropriate use rating for ICD/CRT
• View the likelihood of CMS coverage for the patient receiving an ICD
• Produce a summary of patient inputs and advice for email.
The App addresses those patient scenarios specifically covered in the ACC/HRS/AHA et al. 2013 Appropriate Use Criteria for ICD and CRT document. Information in the App is intended to support clinical decision making and does not represent the only or the best course of care, or replace clinical judgment. Therapeutic options should be determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider. The CMS ICD Coverage Decision included in this Application is for informational purposes only. User must contact CMS for appropriate qualifications. ACCF does not guarantee that a user might or might not expect coverage based on the responses selected in the Application.
Leave a comment in the app store or fill out the survey on the “About” page of this app to help ACC continue to improve its tools for clinicians.
