Urgent Matters

The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano created Code STEMI, an interprofessional team to expedite treatment to patients presenting with a STEMI, a type of heart attack, and improve door to balloon time. The Code STEMI team approach aims to provide continuity of care from arrival to discharge. Two members of the Baylor team, Kerstin Duncan, the Clinical Nurse Manager of the Emergency Department and Non-Invasive Nursing and Kim Nguyen, the Director of Nursing, discuss the results of the Code STEMI team. Dr. Jesse Pines is the Director of the George Washington University Office for Clinical Practice Innovation and a Professor of Emergency Medicine and Health Policy.
