Working together across the continuum we can coordinate care and
find efficiencies in the system to reduce time to treatment and improve
outcomes for our patients.
Creating Opportunities Together…

The Bottom Line
A rapidly aging population and increasing rates of obesity,
diabetes, and high blood pressure mean more people at risk for heart attack, cardiac arrest and stroke.
![Page 9: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Emergency Cardiac and Stroke
Care in Washington
Problem: effective treatments are available--but too many people don’t get them at all or in time
• Only 4% strokes get t-PA• Only 35 of 95 hospital administered
t-PA• Estimated 39% of heart attacks get
PCI• Only 55% of hospitals give lytics
under 30 min• OHCA survival rates very low
![Page 10: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Solution
An organized system to get the right patient to the right place in the right
time, just like we do for trauma.

Quality Improvement
SHB 2396:
•Requires QI of participating hospitals•Allows the trauma QI programs to evaluate emergency cardiac and stroke care delivery
![Page 24: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ECS System Measures and Goals
• 15 minutes on-scene time for EMS• 30 minutes in transfer hospital (AMI)• 30 minutes door-to-needle (lytics, AMI)• 60 minutes door-to-t-PA (stroke) • 90 minutes first medical contact (EMS or
transfer hospital) to definitive treatment • 120 minutes symptom onset to definitive
treatment • Participating hospital within 1 hour from every
citizen • Cardiac arrest goals - to be determined
![Page 25: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Outcomes
• Discharge status• Length of stay• 30-day readmission/30-day mortality • Immediate and one-year mortality • Function at 3 months• Quality of life• Ejection fraction• Neurologic status
![Page 26: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What You Can Do…
• Make your hospital part of the prevention cycle.
• Educate your communities: CPR, signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke, and to call 9-1-1 immediately.
• Become cardiac and stroke centers and implement best practices.
![Page 27: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What You Can Do…
• Work with your EMS partners and fellow hospitals to create comprehensive regional systems.
• Collect data and use it to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
• Participate in the statewide ECS TAC.

![Page 33: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Every patient taken to Kittitas Valley for initial assessment and stabilization
• EKG’s done by Respiratory Therapy only• Chest X-Ray obtained “per protocol”• EMS left the hospital, then were called
back to transport patient to YRMCC Lab• No partnerships established and
varying “trust” of the assessment of our EMS providers
• Patients from KVCH taken to Yakima Reg. ED, reassessed & then cardiac cath team called
Why the delays?
![Page 34: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• A focus on “what is right for the patient”• All partners at the table to develop
standardized protocols and training of EMS providers
• EKG performed in the field- if obvious STEMI and stable, EMS bypasses KVCH
• EMS notifies YRMCC directly - cath lab notified
• EMS bypasses Yakima ED - go directly to cath lab
A New Program Emerges
![Page 35: The New Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke System: Developing a Best Practice Plan for Your Community Bev McCullough Quality Improvement Manager,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649dff5503460f94ae74e2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Only unstable STEMI patients transported to KVCH
• Implemented a STEMI Alert• Eliminated “wasteful” steps- Chest X-Ray• Multiple staff trained to perform EKG• EMS remains on scene when possible,
ready to transport to YRMCC Cath Lab• One call to YRMCC- single line for referrals
Changes at KVCH

• Transfer success of the STEMI Program to our Stroke Program
• EMS performs a FAST exam in the field and notifies KVCH of a “Stroke Alert”
• Developed a joint NIHSS- EMS initiates the NIHSS in the ambulance, ED staff utilize the same form to assess patient on arrival
• Patients taken directly to our CT, EMS reports to ED provider and RN cares for patient in CT
• “Door to CT” time <25 min in 75% of patients
• Average Door to CT Read = 30 minutes
