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) and Out of Hospital Cardiac
Arrest. The overarching goal of the initiative is to reduce mortality
and morbidity for STEMI and OOHCA patients to and improve their
overall quality of care
What is Mission: Lifeline?
04/21/23 ©2013, American Heart Association 6
Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients
• Mission: Lifeline will:
– Promote ideal STEMI systems of care
– Help STEMI patients get the life-saving care they need in time
– Bring together healthcare resources into an efficient, synergistic system
– Improve overall quality of care
• The initiative is unique in that it:
– Addresses the continuum of care for STEMI patients
– Preserves a role for the local STEMI-referring hospital
– Understands the issues specific to rural communities
– Promotes different solutions/protocols for rural vs. urban/suburban areas
– Recognizes there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution
– Knows the issues of implementing national recommendations on a community level7
What is Mission: Lifeline?
How is STEMI Defined?
• ST elevation at the J point in at least 2 contiguous leads of ≥
2 mm (0.2 mV) in men or ≥ 1.5 mm (0.15 mV) in women in
leads V2–V3, and/or of ≥ 1 mm (0.1 mV) in other contiguous
chest leads or the limb leads.
• New or presumably new LBBB at presentation occurs
infrequently, may interfere with ST-elevation analysis, and
should not be considered diagnostic of acute myocardial
infarction (MI) in isolation. If doubt persists, immediate
referral for invasive angiography may be necessary.
• ECG demonstrates evidence of ST depression suspect of a
Posterior MI

Group Decision Making
04/21/23 ©2013, American Heart Association 32
Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients
Consensus Based Decision Making
33
• Consensus Decision-Making– Participants make decisions by agreement rather than by majority vote.
• Inclusiveness– To the extent possible, all necessary interests are represented or, at a minimum, approve of the decision.
• Accountability– Participants usually represent stakeholder groups or interests. They are accountable both to their constituents and to the process.
• Facilitation– An impartial facilitator accountable to all participants manages the process, ensures the ground rules are followed, and helps to maintain a productive climate for communication and problem solving.
Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients
• Flexibility– Participants design a process and address the issues in a manner they determine most suitable to the situation.
• Shared Control/Ground Rules– Participants share with the facilitator responsibility for setting and maintaining the ground rules for a process and for creating outcomes.
• Commitment to Implementation – All stakeholders commit to carrying out their agreement.
34
Consensus Based Decision Making
Improving the System of Care for STEMI Patients
Elements of a Consensus-Based Decision
•All parties agree with the proposed decision and are willing to carry it out
•No one will block or obstruct the decision or its implementation
•Everyone will support the decision and implement it.
Levels of Consensus
•I can say an unqualified “yes!”
•I can accept the decision.
•I can live with the decision.
•I do not fully agree with the decision, however, I will not block it and will support it.

How Does the Nebraska Mission: Lifeline Project Support Data
Colletion?
•The PCI Capable Hospitals in the included rural areas will receive funding support to participate in ACTION Registry-GWTG for three years
•24/7 PCI capable hospitals will also receive FTE support for data abstraction
***Hospitals must agree to enter patients into ACTION Registry to receive any of these dollars
•All Hospitals will also be eligible for funding support for 12-L receiving software
•Non-funded, Metro PCIs are strongly encouraged to participate in ACTION Registry to be part of the state system data.

Hospital and System Improvement Strategies
• Know your numbers, data sources and benchmarks
• Understand the performance measures and understand
who is key to success (FMC is a collaborative measure!)
• Develop plan for Q1 to achieve award Q2 – small tests of
change
• Look at your “misses”, Evaluate process change based
on trends
• Provide messaging to champions for hospital key
partners and use your data!
• Communicate

Mission: Lifeline Statewide STEMI Guideline
All communities should create and maintain a regional system of STEMI care that includes assessment and continuous quality improvement of EMS and hospital-based activities. Performance can be facilitated by participating in programs such as Mission: Lifeline and the D2B Alliance.
I IIa IIb III
Performance of a 12-lead ECG by EMS personnel at the site of FMC is recommended in patients with symptoms consistent with STEMI.
I IIa IIb III
Guidelines Constructed following the 2013 ACC/AHA Guidelines
Mission: Lifeline Statewide STEMI Guideline
Reperfusion therapy should be administered to all eligible patients with STEMI with symptom onset within the prior 12 hours.
Primary PCI is the recommended method of reperfusion when it can be performed in a timely fashion by experienced operators.
I IIa IIb IIIEMS transport directly to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is the recommended triage strategy for patients with STEMI with an ideal FMC-to-device time system goal of 90 minutes or less.*
I IIa IIb III
I IIa IIb III
*The proposed time windows are system goals. For any individual patient, every effort should be made to provide reperfusion therapy as rapidly as possible.
Guidelines Constructed following the 2013 ACC/AHA Guidelines
Mission: Lifeline Statewide STEMI Guideline
Immediate transfer to a PCI-capable hospital for primary PCI is the recommended triage strategy for patients with STEMI who initially arrive at or are transported to a non–PCI-capable hospital, with an FMC-to-device time system goal of 120 minutes or less.*
In the absence of contraindications, fibrinolytic therapy should be administered to patients with STEMI at non–PCI-capable hospitals when the anticipated FMC-to-device time at a PCI-capable hospital exceeds 120 minutes because of unavoidable delays.
I IIa IIb III
*The proposed time windows are system goals. For any individual patient, every effort should be made to provide reperfusion therapy as rapidly as possible.
I IIa IIb III
Guidelines Constructed following the 2013 ACC/AHA Guidelines
Mission: Lifeline Statewide STEMI Guideline
When fibrinolytic therapy is indicated or chosen as the primary reperfusion strategy, it should be administered within 30 minutes of hospital arrival.*
Reperfusion therapy is reasonable for patients with STEMI and symptom onset within the prior 12 to 24 hours who have clinical and/or ECG evidence of ongoing ischemia. Primary PCI is the preferred strategy in this population.
*The proposed time windows are system goals. For any individual patient, every effort should be made to provide reperfusion therapy as rapidly as possible.

Opportunities for Improvement
Are patients not aware of S&S and calling 911, thus causing a delay in treatment/out of hospital death prior to treatment? This supports the need for enhanced public awareness/education.
Access to care? Do we currently have systems in place in which patients are not able to get to the appropriate facility in a timely fashion, thus supporting the need to improve systems of care so that patients are transported to a facility with a plan in place to treat based on guidelines.
