Prompt primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) significantly reduces mortality and morbidity. In 2004 the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) set a goal to reduce door-to-balloon (D2B) time to < 90 minutes in 75% of STEMI cases. IMPLEMENTING THE STEMI INITIATIVE: In 2004, the STEMI/D2B leadership team broke down D2B time into four segments: door to data, data to diagnosis, diagnosis to decision, and decision to device. Each segment was examined for inefficiencies, duplication, and nonstandardization. In 2005, after the internal D2B processes and results showed improvement, the STEMI/D2B leadership team extended the project to prehospital emergency medical services. In 2006, UMass Memorial began to roll out a regional system for STEMI care to the 12 community hospitals in its service area without on-site PCI capabilities.
