  • Title: ED slashes treatment time for heart attack drugs.
    Journal: Healthc Benchmarks; 1999 Feb; 6(2):16-8. PubMed ID: 10345810.
    Abstract:
    A New Jersey hospital cut its time for thrombolytic treatment for heart attack patients from 61 minutes to less than 25 minutes. Improvements included a one-page time-to-treatment assessment tool and a five-minute protocol for walk-in patients. Emergency department leaders suggest focusing on clinical processes to get medical staff buy-in.
