Advocacy is a core mission of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI). SCAI advocates on behalf of interventional cardiologists and our patients. This document provides foundational information and a toolkit for grassroots advocacy by interventional cardiologists. The first half of the document summarizes how health care laws are made, how medical devices are approved, and how procedure reimbursement is determined. The second half of the document is a playbook of advocacy strategies: legislative advocacy, judicial advocacy, advocacy with regulators and payors, advocacy in the media, and participation in SCAI advocacy initiatives, such as the Government Relations Committee and SCAI Political Action Committee. Equipped with this toolbox, interventional cardiologists must increase our advocacy activities with government, payors, and industry.
宣传倡导是心血管造影与介入学会（SCAI）的核心使命。SCAI代表介入心脏病专家和我们的患者进行宣传倡导。本文档为介入心脏病专家的基层宣传倡导提供了基础信息和工具包。文档的前半部分总结了医疗保健法律是如何制定的、医疗器械是如何获批的以及手术报销是如何确定的。文档的后半部分是一份宣传倡导策略手册：立法宣传倡导、司法宣传倡导、与监管机构和付款方的宣传倡导、媒体宣传倡导以及参与SCAI的宣传倡导倡议，如政府关系委员会和SCAI政治行动委员会。有了这个工具包，介入心脏病专家必须增加我们与政府、付款方和行业的宣传倡导活动。
