Abstract
Designation as a comprehensive Aortic Center with implementation of strategic workflow systems and a culture of “no refusal of transfers” resulted in a significant increase in aortic volume for both emergent and elective aortic cases. Case volumes increased for all specialties involved in the center. Improvements in transfer center and emergency medical services communication demonstrated a trend toward more efficient transfer times. These increases and improvements were sustainable for 2 years after this designation.
