Chest 2025 is an initiative of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) to establish and implement a set of quality standards for cardiothoracic surgery in Europe by 2025. The initiative aims to improve the quality of care for patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery by promoting evidence-based practices, optimizing resource utilization, and fostering innovation.
Chest 2025 is based on the recognition that cardiothoracic surgery is a complex and rapidly evolving field, and that there is a need for a concerted effort to improve the quality of care. The initiative is supported by a wide range of stakeholders, including surgeons, nurses, allied health professionals, patient organizations, and industry partners.
