- The Problem: ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
- The Measurement: Recognition to Reperfusion Time (R2R)
- The Goal: Shortening Time to Reperfusion
- The Result: Better Patient Outcomes!
- The Tool: Project UPSTART
During a heart attack, Time = Muscle. Treating STEMI patients faster improves outcomes and saves lives. Project UPSTART is a unique, no-cost quality improvement program that helps hospitals and systems optimize care of their patients and shorten their times to treatment. UPSTART is not a rigid protocol but rather a flexible organizational approach to treatment, helping you get the best results from the resources already available at your institution.
