A quick-reference guide to help transcatheter valve teams track key assessments and documentation from pre-procedure through follow-up.

About:

Designed for busy structural heart teams, this Transcatheter Valve Therapy (TVT) Assessment Badge Buddy provides a concise, easy-to-use reference for key assessments, timing windows, and documentation elements across the patient’s care journey.

This tool organizes reminders into three clearly defined sections: Pre Procedure, Post Procedure, and Follow Up. From KCCQ assessments, risk scores, and functional status to imaging measurements, cardiac rehabilitation referrals, and follow-up documentation, each section keeps important details accessible for quick review.

Whether used during chart review, as a staff training aid, or to support assessment tracking, this badge buddy helps clinical teams and registry abstractors identify potential documentation gaps and support more complete data collection.
