Background:The Rush University Medical Center interventional platform is a novel hospital design concept created to facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration and centralize common resources in effort to improve safety and outcomes. Currently, there are no outcomes studies that evaluate the utility of an interventional platform. Multiple specialties on our platform utilize femoral artery access in a heterogeneous fashion. While complications are uncommon, they may affect morbidity, mortality, cost and length of hospital stay. We instituted a standardized femoral artery access workflow across the subspecialties on our interventional platform to evaluate techniques and outcomes.
