The CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock has been honored with the Mission: Lifeline award for invoking specific quality improvement measures for the treatment of severe heart attack patients as outlined by the American Heart Association.
The goal of Mission: Lifeline from AHA is to improve patient outcomes overall and save lives. This is accomplished through addressing gaps in care, creating systems where they don’t currently exist, and providing innovative tools and measures to improve the speed and quality of care by enabling EMS, referring hospitals (non-PCI) and receiving hospitals (PCI-capable) to work together seamlessly and accelerate the decision making process while treating high-risk patients.
