The project is a prospective observational study with the aim of system improvement. It represents accompanying research in connection with the implementation of Safe Emergency Medicine , - an initiative under the auspices of the board of The North Norway Regional Health Authority and The Municipal Health Consortium that aims to provide faster and better treatment to patients with common, serious and time-critical conditions.
The focus of the study is the decision-making process and implementation of treatment algorithms for all patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the regional health trust's admission area. The data sources are 1) structured telephone interviews with providers and decision-makers and 2) electronic medical records (AMIS, DIPS, prehospital medical records from emergency departments, ambulance medical records). The analyses will form the basis for recommendations for improvements in procedures, training and organization.
