1 Contra Costa County Emergency Medical Services STEMI System Performance Report Quarter 4, 2009 & Year to Date 2009

2 Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services STEMI System Performance Executive Report: Quarter 4 and Year to Date 2009 Advisory Body Contra Costa County STEMI Oversight CQI Committee and Advisory Group Mission To reduce the total time from field ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) identification to cardiac intervention high-risk heart attack patients. The National Benchmark for STEMI treatment is < 90 minutes from door to intervention 75% of the time. For every 15-minute delay beyond these 90 minutes there is an increased risk of death for the patient. Membership The STEMI Oversight CQI Committee and Advisory Group consists of representatives from Contra Costa Designated STEMI Receiving Centers, Hospital Emergency Departments, First Responders and Emergency Ambulance Services. This interdisplinary group includes hospital administrators, emergency physicians, cardiologists, cardiac intervention specialists, nursing and prehospital providers. These groups are active participants in the quality oversight of the Contra Costa STEMI System in partnership with Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services.

3 Background The Contra Costa STEMI System was launched on September 8, At that time there were only 11 STEMI Systems in California and 148 in the entire United States. Contra Costa has eight designated STEMI Centers in our STEMI system, six in Contra Costa and two in Alameda County. STEMI Receiving Centers must provide 24/7/365 specialized cardiac interventional services to participate in the program. These are: Doctors Medical Center San Pablo John Muir Health - Walnut Creek Campus John Muir Health - Concord Campus Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Walnut Creek San Ramon Regional Medical Center Sutter Delta Medical Center Antioch (as of August 17, 2009) Valley Care Pleasanton Oakland Summit Medical Center As of January 2010 Contra Costa was one of 12 STEMI Systems in California and one of 379 in the United States. Contra Costa STEMI System is an active participant in the American Heart Association (AHA) Mission Lifeline. Mission Lifeline is a national program whose mission it is to improve rapid access to cardiac intervention through development of STEMI systems nationwide and public education to Act in Time by calling 911 at the first sign of chest pain.

5 Current National Statistics American Heart Association Mission Lifeline Program This year, an estimated 1.4 million people will suffer a heart attack Every year some 400,000 people experience will experience a STEMI heart attack the deadliest type of heart attack The vast majority (>50%) of chest pain victims enter the hospital by taking themselves or having a family member drive them to the hospital 30% of STEMI victims do not receive reperfusion treatment 25% of hospitals nationally are equipped to perform PCI Intervention Recent data from the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction found median delays of 180 minutes from arrival at the non-pci hospital to balloon inflation at the primary PCI-capable hospital. Only 4.2 percent of transferred patients achieved door-to-balloon times within the recommended 90-minute window. Only 40% of STEMI patients are treated within the 90-minute standard National statistics help benchmark STEMI System performance

Risk adjustments are done as part of a STEMI Center s participation in national cardiac intervention registries, such as the American College of Cardiology- NCDR Cath PCI Registry, and can take up to 6 months to receive after the quarter has ended. During risk adjustment certain patients would be eliminated from the final numbers to control for variables known to bias the results. STEMI patients are a low-frequency, high-risk population and as such any percentages, calculated from small numbers, should be limited in their significance. 3

18 STEMI PCI Demographics in 2009 showed: 64% Male with an average age of 63.7 years 36% Female with an average age of 68.4 years 11

19 Age Ranges are as listed for the 2009 calendar year. Note that females are present in all age categories. 12

20 Where do our STEMI patients requiring intervention come from? Central County is disproportionably affected. Reasons could include a wide variety of factors; e.g., access to health care, ethnicity that we are not able to fully define at this time. 13

22 EMS triaged STEMI patients were transported to the following STEMI Centers during 2009: Doctors San Pablo and John Muir Concord continue to be our highest volume centers. Sutter Delta joined the STEMI System in August and their numbers do not reflect a full year of data. However more than 60-70% of patients still self-transport to the emergency department. 15

23 STEMI Center Reports Doctors San Pablo John Muir Concord & Walnut Creek Kaiser Walnut Creek San Ramon Regional Sutter Delta Medical Center The following STEMI Centers presented their STEMI performance data for Quarter IV and year-end 2009 as part of the meeting. 16

24 Non-STEMI Center Report Contra Costa Regional Medical Center with STEMI Center Partner John Muir Medical Center (JMMC) Concord Campus Contra Costa has three Non-STEMI Centers in our county. They are Kaiser Richmond, Kaiser Antioch and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC). We would like to applaud the strong leadership of CCRMC and JMMC- Concord for entering this next phase of STEMI System Expansion. We encourage all STEMI Centers to reach out to their near-by Non-STEMI Centers to assure walk-in STEMI patients receive the same level of care as their EMS counterparts. 17

25 Contra Costa STEMI System Opportunities for Improvement Although we celebrate our success as a high performance STEMI System we understand that there are always opportunities for improvement. One of our biggest challenges has been false positive rates that have exceeded our projections. During 2009 every paramedic in the Contra Costa EMS System was re-trained in enhanced 12-lead interpretation focused on reducing false positives. In 2010 Contra Costa STEMI System will be performing a 12-lead ECG transmission pilot. 18

This is a tentative timeline for the transmission pilot program. Delays in implementation were due to un-anticipated costs, equipment and technical issues than had to be resolved prior to launching the pilot. If the transmission project is successful it will increase our STEMI Centers ability to take the patient directly to the cath lab for intervention. Reduce/eliminate false positives. Start date is targeted for May/June 2010 so we hope to have results of the pilot by our next STEMI Oversight meeting in September If the pilot is successful the EMS STEMI System Goal is to assure that every patient in Contra Costa has access to this resource and that the implementation would be system-wide. 19

27 Act in Time Public Education Stronger Efforts Needed. Total Patients Q STEMI patients 43 (59%) via EMS 30 (41%) walk-in Nationally > 50% of all patients walk-in with chest pain Public Education Lagging Act in Time Our standard for Public Education As stated previously one of our biggest challenges is addressing the issue of public education. The American Heart Association Mission Lifeline criteria for STEMI systems of care state that patient and public education should include the ability to: Recognize the symptoms of a heart attack. Realize the importance of activating emergency medical services (EMS) via promptly and getting treatment quickly. Be familiar with their local hospital's role in the delivery of STEMI care. Understand the implications involved in inter-hospital (rapid) transfer for the purpose of getting the patient percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the preferred method of treatment for a STEMI heart attack. Promote culturally competent educational efforts with clear and consistent messages. Include patient representatives on community planning coalitions. Provide highly coordinated and patient-centered care. Contra Costa County has adopted the Act in Time evidence-based education materials to promote public education. STEMI Centers play a critical role in disseminating strong messages to their communities. Contra Costa EMS recommends that all STEMI Centers incorporate these materials in their public education efforts via their websites, media, print, community outreach and public service announcements. 20

28 Contra Costa STEMI System Moving Forward Opportunities Community Education Partnerships HeartSafe Communities Intra-facility Transfers from Non-STEMI Centers Mission Lifeline STEMI System Accreditation process being developed Support for Publication and Presentation Patient and Public Education Contra Costa EMS PrehospitalPam Dodson, RN, is the HeartSafe Community lead at Contra Costa EMS supporting public education. STEMI Centers are strongly encouraged to work with their communities and EMS to support the Mission Lifeline Public Education Goals. Any public information on chest pain in the print or media should include a strong public message to call for chest pain. Contra Costa County is well positioned to have continued success and we credit this to our strong collaborative partnerships. 21

29 Contra Costa STEMI System Moving Forward STEMI Center Reporting Data Element Update Risk Adjusted Data Availability Next Oversight meeting September 2010 Kaiser Walnut Creek STEMI Center Coordinators will be having a follow-up meeting to refine our STEMI Center data collection tools and summary sheet at a later date to be announced. Kaiser Walnut Creek will be our host for the next oversight meeting in September
