  1. Implementing M:L in South Dakota Darrin Smith, Senior Director of Advocacy and State Health Alliances

  2. What is Mission: Lifeline? Mission: Lifeline is the American Heart Association's national initiative to advance the systems of care for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The overarching goal of the initiative is to reduce mortality and morbidity for STEMI patients and to improve their overall quality of care.

  3. The Need • 1.4 million people will suffer a heart attack • Approximately 400,000 of those will experience STEMI • 30% of STEMI patients do not receive any form of treatment to restore blood flow, whether through clot-busting drugs or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the latter being the preferred therapy which uses mechanical means such as stents, balloon angioplasty or surgery. Time is muscle. The outcome of STEMI events depends greatly on the care patients receive and the timeframe in which they receive it. Through Mission: Lifeline, the American Heart Association wants to ensure that healthcare systems are able to deliver prompt and appropriate care to STEMI patients during the critical "golden hour" following their heart attack.

  4. The Need, cont… According to the Centers for Disease Control, South Dakota is in the Class 5 category for STEMI death rates, making it one of the states with the highest STEMI death rates in the nation. To make timely and appropriate care for STEMI patients the standard across this country, Mission: Lifeline has identified a number of complex challenges that must be overcome: • Public/Patient Education • Enhancing Emergency Medical Services • Enhancing Hospital Services • Quality Data Tracking • Protocols

  5. The Goal To meet the overarching goal, Mission: Lifeline will bring together the necessary partnerships between: • Patients and care givers • EMS • Physicians, nurses and other providers • PCI-Referring hospitals (Non-PCI capable) • PCI-Receiving hospitals (PCI capable) • Department of Health • Office of EMS • Office of Rural Health • Quality Improvement Organizations • State and local policymakers • Third-party payers • Health Systems

  6. South Dakota Today • Hospital/EMS Map • M:L Hospital Survey results • ML EMS Survey results (next slide)

  7. SD M:L EMS Survey • ALS complete = 8 (6%) • ALS complete w/o transmsn = 19 (14.3%) • ALS not complete = 22 (16.5%) • BLS w/12-Lead = 3 (2.3%) • BLS w/o 12-Lead = 81 (60.9%)

  8. SD M:L Project • $9M+ three year project funded by an $8.4M grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust • This is the 2nd largest grant the American Heart Association has ever received on any level – national, regional, or local • This project will impact literally every licensed ambulance service and licensed hospital in the state of South Dakota

  9. SD M:L Project, cont….. • This will revolutionize heart attack patient care in SD – we currently have one of the highest 10 STEMI death rates according to the CDC • This project is designed to produce a “model system” that can then be implemented across the Midwest and nation, making SD a leader in heart attack systems of care

  10. What it means to SD? Successful implementation of Mission: Lifeline will mean that South Dakota will have: • One of the most advanced, if not the most advanced, coordinated heart attack systems of care in the United States • The highest percentage of ambulance services in the nation equipped with 12-lead ECGs • The highest percentage of 12-lead ECG-trained emergency medical technicians in the nation • The highest percentage of ambulance services transmitting 12- lead ECG results in the nation

  11. What it means to SD, cont…. • The highest percentage of hospitals with 12-lead ECG-receiving station software in the nation • The highest percentage of hospitals in the nation utilizing the ACTION Registry-Get WithThe Guidelines (GWTG) data collection tool • One of the states with the highest percentage of hospitals in the nation with written STEMI patient treatment and transport protocols.

  12. Implementation Strategies • Aggressive public education and awareness campaigns will be executed to raise awareness and knowledge levels with respect to signs and symptoms of heart attack and the need to activate the 9-1-1 system immediately • Aggressive medical provider education and awareness efforts will be executed to recruit medical professionals as partners in educating their patients about heart attack warning signs and symptoms, and the need to call 9-1-1 immediately • Assistance to every ambulance service in South Dakota in acquiring the most up-to-date 12-lead ECG equipment • Implementation of a robust, comprehensive 12-lead ECG training program and ensuring that everyambulance service in South Dakota has access to quality 12-lead ECG training;

  13. Implementation Strategies…. • Assurance that 12-lead ECGs in South Dakota ambulance services are transmitting results to medical facilities that are equipped to receive those transmissions • Through work with our stakeholders, assurance that emergency department staff in everySouth Dakota hospital are trained to properly administer fibrinolytic therapy

  14. Implementation Strategies…. • Assurance that appropriate protocols are in place for EMS and hospital personnel to provide for the most appropriate care for each STEMI patient • Establishment of the first of its kind “real time” evaluation tool with the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology jointly developed quality improvement program, Action Registry-Get With The Guidelines, which will track patient data and information throughout the entire continuum of STEMI system care and allow us to evaluate and monitor on a regular basis the improvements being made and the need for improvement in other areas of each system

  15. Project Budget Highlights • EMS: $4M • $3.5M for 12-Leads • $225K for transmission • $300K for training & materials

  16. Project Budget Highlights…. • Hospitals: $3M • $775K for 12-Lead receiving station software • $2M for ACTION Registry GWTG • $75K for Lytics Training

  17. Project Budget Highlights…. • Other highlights: • Full Time SD M:L Director • Annual Conferences in SF & RC • Public/Provider Education • Evaluation • Positioning SD as a leader
