A brief case study on the Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) project will be discussed. The objective of the project was to standardize the care and reduce costs across three Mayo Clinic sites in Rochester, Arizona, and Florida, while maintaining and improving outcomes and the patient experience.
