Appropriate Use Criteria
The Multimodality AUC App
This useful app allows providers to review the appropriateness of 7 different cardiac testing modalities (based on the AUC) for the detection and risk assessment of SIHD.
The Multimodality AUC App is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease or condition. It is also not a qualified CDSM. Thus, the Multimodality AUC App must not be used to try and comply with the CMS AUC program requirements. The Multimodality AUC App is for informational purposes only.
Hierarchy of Indications for Ordering Tests
Utilize this flowchart for patients who may have multiple clinical indications. This hierarchy of indications can help you assess test appropriateness and is based on the ACCF/AHA Multimodality AUC.
ACCF = American College of Cardiology Foundation;
AHA = American Heart Association.
