EMS, STEMI, and e-Bridge (recorded March 10, 2022)
Manage episode 404689445 series 3555959
During this episode, we welcome Nathan Stanaway, MS, NRP and Alina Capatina MSN, CCRN-K, CNL. These skilled process improvement professionals discuss the strengths and potential roadblocks of integrating a new app that supports EMS when they notify the hospital of an incoming STEMI patient. Nathan Stanaway is the Senior Manager of Mobile Care EMS, Critical Care Transport, and AHA Training Center at Baystate Health. Alina Capatina is the former STEMI Program Coordinator at Baystate and has since moved on to the Operations Excellence Department. In recent years, Alina and Nathan were directly involved in the implementation of e-Bridge into their system. Specifically, their focus was on maximizing care for STEMI patients being transported by EMS. For scale, Baystate Health is the biggest and busiest STEMI program in Massachusetts. They receive upwards of 400 STEMI patients per year from the field and from 10 sending facilities around the region. To them, the importance of EMS in STEMI care is obvious.
