Abstract
"Staff confidence at University Hospital in implementation of STEMI protocols was low based on anecdotal interviews. STEMI patients who are direct admits to the University Hospital demonstrate lower door to balloon times than those patients already in the hospital who develop STEMI. In order to better serve our patient population an education plan is required to improve early identification of chest pain symptoms, quick determination of specific issue (ECG for STEMI differentiation), and proper utilization of code protocols within the hospital to reduce symptoms onset to cardiac catheterization. Studies show that patient long-term outcomes are improved with lower door to balloon times (Dai et al, 2013). Studies also show that patients experiencing inpatient onset STEMI had more than three times the in-hospital mortality than patients with outpatient onset STEMI (Kaul et al, 2014). "--Background.
