- Employ optimal systems and strategies for diagnosis and management of STEMI, including destination and transfer protocols based on clinical trials evidence, practice guidelines, and quality of care standards.
- Describe existing successful STEMI regional plans that are pertinent to a wide array of geographical and political realities.
- Discuss pros and cons of the current system practices
- Identify collaborative solutions to overcome existing barriers to coordinated regional STEMI care.
