Opportunity for ImprovementOpportunity for Improvement
• LUHS began reporting Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) core measures beginning in July, 2002
• AMI core measures are based on AHA/ACC Coronary Heart Disease guidelines • Full FY 05 Medicare reimbursement requires reporting of AMI and other quality
measures to CMS • Data is reported on the JCAHO, CMS, and Loyola Health System websites.• LUHS performs well on all measures, but our goal is to achieve excellent
performance on all measures
• Complicated and emergent care is required for most AMI patients
• Care involves many different units and teams
• Clinicians lack tools (forms, reminders, order sets) needed to follow guidelines
• Hospitals have previously not addressed prevention like smoking cessation
Causes for the Improvement OpportunityCauses for the Improvement Opportunity
Measures of Focus in 2004
– PCI within 120 minutes for ST elevation AMI patients– ACE-Inhibitor, or ARB, prescribed at discharge in patients with left ventricular systolic
dysfunction (LVSD)– Adult smoking cessation advice to all patients who have smoked within the last 12 months
Measures with LUHS performance of 97 – 98%
– Aspirin within 24 hours before or after arrival– Aspirin prescribed at discharge– Beta blocker within 24 hours after arrival – Beta blocker prescribed at discharge
Focus of InterventionsFocus of Interventions
Solutions ImplementedSolutions Implemented• 2002-2003 Actions
– AMI National Hospital Quality Measures (NHQM) committee formed – AMI Discharge Progress Note Addendum implemented – Educated attending physicians, residents, and nursing staff– Hospital-wide smoking cessation program implemented
• 2004 Actions– Pre-printed unstable angina/non-ST elevation MI orders implemented– Process analysis of ST elevation AMI presentation by AMI NHQM sub-committee– Patient Education Record revised to include documentation of smoking cessation advice– Discharge progress note revised to accept ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers for
LVSD
Definition: AMI patients with time to PCI under 120 minutes in patients with ST segment elevation or left bundle branch block (LBBB) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) performed closest to hospital arrival time. Patients transferred from another hospital are excluded. Patients with PCI time greater than 24 hours are excluded.
Data source: LUMC medical records abstracted by RNs.

Definition: AMI patients who are prescribed an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) at hospital discharge / AMI patients with LVSD and without ACEI contraindications. LVSD is defined as chart documentation of a left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40% or a narrative description of left ventricular function consistent with moderate or severe systolic dysfunction. Prior to 2005, ARBs were not recognized in this measure.
Data source: Original data extracted from LUMC charts by RNs.

Next StepsNext Steps
• Develop and implement ST elevation MI pre-printed order set
• Expand comprehensive system-wide smoking cessation program
• Provide performance reports and charts to departments that are critical for specific measures
• Develop and implement AMI care pathway, discharge protocol form and patient education materials
