Arkansas Surgical Hospital Aquires Zimmer Biomet ROSA Knee System Arkansas Surgical Hospital has acquired the Zim- mer Biomet ROSA Knee System. The ROSA knee system brings together robotic technology with surgeons to help personalize surgical procedures. ROSA Knee is a robotically-assisted surgical sys- tem designed to help perform total knee replace- ment surgery. Real-time data provided by ROSA Knee alerts surgeons to minuscule movement a patient’s leg may make during the operation. In addition, advanced modeling technology provides a way for surgeons to create three-dimensional mod- els of a patient’s joint using images obtained by x-rays. CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs Receives Mission: Lifeline NSTEMI Bronze Achievement Award CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs has received the Mission: Lifeline NSTEMI Bronze Quality Achieve- ment Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the Ameri- can Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer heart attacks. The American Heart Association’s Mission: Life- line program’s goal is to reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 9-1-1 call, to EMS transport, and continu- ing through hospital treatment and discharge. The initiative provides tools, training, and other resources to support heart attack care following protocols from the most recent evidence-based treatment guidelines. CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standards of perfor- mance for the quick and appropriate treatment of NSTEMI heart attack patients by providing emer- gency procedures to re-establish blood flow to blocked arteries when needed. “CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs is dedicated to providing optimal care for heart attack patients,” said CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs President Doug Ross, MD. “We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care through Mission: Lifeline.” “We commend CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs for this award in recognition for following evi- dence-based guidelines for timely heart attack treatment,” said Tim Henry, MD, chair of the Mis- sion: Lifeline Acute Coronary Syndrome Subcom- mittee. “We applaud the significant institutional commitment to their critical role in the system of care for quickly and appropriately treating heart attack patients.” Washington Regional Receives Mission: Lifeline Silver Receiving Achievement Award Washington Regional has received the Mis- sion: Lifeline® Silver Receiving Quality Achieve- ment Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks. Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the deadliest type of heart attack, caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication. The American Heart Association’s Mission: Life- line program’s goal is to reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 911 call, to EMS transport and continuing through hospital treatment and discharge. The ini- tiative provides tools, training and other resources to support heart attack care following protocols from the most recent evidence-based treatment guidelines. Washington Regional earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standards of per- formance for quick and appropriate treatment through emergency procedures to restore blood flow to blocked arteries in heart attack patients. “Washington Regional is dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients who are experi- encing a heart attack,” said Washington Regional Emergency Department Director Danita Mullins. “We are pleased to be recognized for our dedi- cation and achievements in cardiac care through Mission: Lifeline.” “We commend Washington Regional for this award in recognition for following evidence-based guidelines for timely heart attack treatment,” said Tim Henry, MD, Chair of the Mission: Lifeline
