National AMI Information CallFebruary 5, 2008Patient Safety Initiative
Elements of AMI bundle• Early administration of aspirin• Aspirin at discharge• Beta-blocker at discharge• ACE-inhibitor or angiotensin receptor
blocker at discharge
Elements of AMI bundle• Timely reperfusion (thrombolysis or
percutaneous intervention)• Smoking cessation counseling
Today’s focus:• Issues and opportunities related to
capturing and improving the timing of AMI care at the receiving hospital and the tertiary PCI centre
Southlake Regional Health Centre• 323 bed hospital in Newmarket,
Ontario• Regional Cardiac Care Program• Advanced services: Interventional
Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery and Heart Rhythm Programs
Successful strategies to improve AMI and timely PCI• Early repatriation of PCI patients back to referring hospitals• Increased availability of cath lab and interventional team
(expanded working hours)• Regional PCI guidelines developed and disseminated to
regional partners• Primary PCI implemented within SRHC
Successful strategies to improve AMI and timely PCI
• Implementation of regional STEMI bypass program• Dedicated data analyst for PCI data• Ongoing collaboration with our own ER department and
with regional partners
Challenges• Number of advanced vs. primary paramedics in region• Cost of equipment: technology to transmit ECG’s from
ambulance • Cath lab in use• Bed availability and patient flow• Efficient use of PCI unit

Actual Goal
The Credit Valley Perspective
• Credit Valley Hospital is a 383 bed community hospital
• 360 patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 2006/2007
AMI Data• 139 subendocardial myocardial
infarctions admitted• 113 admitted to CCU• 102 transferred to other facility for
coronary intervention
In the Beginning…• EFFECT study (1999-2004)• Retrospective chart review of AMI patients• 135 charts audited• Quality indicators included risk factor reduction,
‘door to needle time’, aggregate secondary prevention
(ICES/CCORT, 2004)
EFFECT Study• Current practice in the ER is to use
pre-printed physician orders and the A.C.T. team for all AMI patients
PCI or TnK??• No percutaneous coronary intervention facility on
site at Credit Valley Hospital for primary PCI• Treatment delays a risk when transferring to
other facility for primary PCI• Pharmacotherapy the best choice for STEMI
patients• Facilitated PCI (TRANSFER-AMI)
STEMI Data 2007 (Jan to June)• SHN goal 85% of patients with door to needle
time < 30 min• Average time for January 2007 to June 2007 was
37.4 minutes (median 28.5)• 54% of CVH patients had door to needle time <
30 min
Challenges…• Time to ECG• Changing cardiac patient population• Transportation issues
Opportunities• Regionalized care for AMI patients requiring
interventions• Improved transfer protocols with an organized,
patient centered focus• Enhanced communication and documentation
