The GracePoint Cardiac Stepdown / PCU Policy & Procedure Suite provides detailed policies, step-by-step clinical procedures, operational forms and traceable evidence references for adult inpatient progressive cardiac care.

What’s included:

• 67 policies covering governance, care delivery and clinical operations.

• 67 procedure modules with preparation, numbered technique, monitoring, escalation and documentation.

• 32 reusable operational forms, including femoral sheath readiness and preceptor return-demonstration records.

• Four editable Microsoft Word volumes.

• A searchable Start Here directory and a structured evidence catalog with 69 source records.

• 1,639 numbered workflow actions, including the 35-step femoral sheath-removal procedure.

Evidence classifications distinguish federal requirements, state requirements, accreditation standards, GracePoint best practices and professional guidance. The approved purple design is consistent throughout, and each policy and procedure begins on a new page.

Purchase and delivery:

One-time purchase for one named hospital facility/location. Delivered as one ZIP containing four Word volumes, the combined PDF, evidence catalog, searchable directory and Read Me guide.
