8D2B Alliance Goal
- Goal
- To achieve a door-to-balloon time of 90 minutes
for at least 75 of non-transfer primary PCI
patients with STEMI.
9D2B Alliance - Hospitals
- Over 1100 hospitals enrolled represents 48
states, District of Columbia, Spain, India,
Thailand, Canada, Brazil, Poland, Saudi Arabia,
United Arab Emirates (and growing!) - ACC Chapters and Governors played a major role in
recruiting local hospitals
10D2B Alliance Member US Hospitals
11Evidenced Based Strategies That Reduce Delay
1. ED physician activates the cath lab 2. One
call activates the cath lab 3. Cath lab team
ready in 20 30 minutes 4. Prompt data
feedback 5. Senior management commitment
6. Team-based approach. A pre-hospital ECG to
activate the cath lab is optional. While other
strategies exist, including having a cardiologist
in the hospital 24/7, they are not required for
participation in the D2B campaign.

32Obstacles to Rapid Transfer in STEMI
- Delay in triage, evaluation, and diagnosis
- Limiting staffing during off-hours
- Fragmented and/or inadequate EMS services
- Lack of integrated medical services
- Limited experience with centralized AMI networks
- Greater distances between community and tertiary
hospitals - Inclement weather

39STEMI System Definition A "STEMI system" is an
integrated group of separate entities focused on
reperfusion therapy for STEMI within a region
that typically includes emergency medical
services (EMS) providers, at least one community
(non-PCI) hospital, and at least one tertiary
(PCI) center. The system may include one or
more of the following elements 1.
Leadership teams of EMS, emergency medicine,
cardiology, nursing and administration
2. Standardized communication (i.e. STEMI
alert system) 3. Standardized transportation
4. Data collection and feedback.
40Percent of Vehicles with 12 Lead ECG Capability
What percentage of your vehicles
responding to suspected cardiac
patients in your Agency/organization
have 12 lead ECG acquisition devices?
41Communication of Pre-hospital 12- Lead
Does your organization communicate pre-hospital
12-lead information? Check all that apply
40
4212 Lead Activates the Cath Lab
In your Agency/Organization, is the field
providers 12-lead ECG information used to
activate the cath lab prior to arrival at the
receiving facility?
43Destination Protocols
Are there destination protocols (i.e. bypass
non-PCI hospitals to go directly to PCI centers)
for patients that have had a pre-hospital
identification of a STEMI?

56Mission Lifeline Reporting Goals
- Reports/graphics that emphasize System process
measures - Reporting that features Points Of Entry for
specific STEMI groupings - EMS
- Non-PCI transfer-in
- Direct Presenters Non-Transfer-In
- State/Nation Reports
57Reperfusion Options for the Patients With
Expected Delays
- 1. Full-dose fibrinolytic, admission to the
non-PCI hospital with selective transfer for
rescue PCI - 2. Full-dose fibrinolytic, routine transfer to
PCI hospital with aggressive rescue PCI - 3. Facilitated or pharmaco-invasive PCI
- 4. Primary PCI (no matter how long it takes)
- 5. Any of the above depending on the PCI facility
- available and the cardiologist
CARESS-AMI and TRANSFER-AMI, and FINESSE suggest
that early Pharmaco-invasive approach preferred

63Background
- The ACC/AHA/SCAI 2005 PCI Guidelines designated
the following indications for PCI at centers that
do not have surgery on-site - Primary PCI Class IIb may be considered
- 36/year minimum volume
- Elective PCI Class III not recommended
- Smith SC Jr. et al. J Am Coll Cardiol
200647216-35. - The 2007 Focused PCI Guideline Update did not
address or change these designations. - King SB III et al. J Am Coll Cardiol

67Is P4P related to PCI mortality data a good or
bad thing- NO??
- Unintended consequences -
- Case selection creep
- The patients with most potential benefit denied
therapy - PCI in Cardiogenic shock and s/p Cardiac arrest,
- Salvage CABG
- The patients with the least potential benefit
encouraged for treatment ? - Risk averse behavior, improve operator results,
financial incentives - Negative incentive for Appropriate Use
68Is P4P related to PCI Process data a good or bad
thing- NO??
- Negative unintended consequences related to
Door-to-Balloon time measure - - No reperfusion if would fall outside 90 minutes!
- Transfer to another hospital- not my metric!
- Perversion of measure
- Balloon inflation in Aorta!
- Affecting Clinical decision making
- IABP delayed in Cardiogenic shock

72Final Thoughts
- Are there enough high quality physicians and
hospitals? (Need to move the curve) - What are the opportunity costs? (True reform in
health care delivery including practice redesign
and improved physician payment models) - Bottom Line ACC will always be AT THE TABLE so
that cardiologists are not ON THE MENU!
73STEMI System Process
- Develop leadership,
- funding, data structure
2) Establish REGIONAL PCI CENTERS (primary, lytic
ineligible, rescue)
Measurement Feedback
- Improve system
