MSC Council
Goals and Plans for the Coming Year
• MCS Guidelines and Standards Document
– Initial draft completed
– Sunrise Symposium Sat April 16th
– Plan for submission to Education Committee and BoD in 3rd
quarter 2011
– Plan for submission to JHLT for publication 4th quarter 2012
– Publication prior to the 2012 ISHLT Scientific Meeting
Issue to address for the Board:
• The MCS Guidelines documented as written does not contain a
section on Pediatric MCS. The Standards and Guidelines
Workforce believed the complexity of this topic should be covered in
a separate document. The MCS Council members agreed. Does
the BoD agree with this position?
• Availability of a technical writer to assist with completion of the MCS
Guidelines document.
