Hx. of STEMI is still an active ICD code. It will continue to pull as long as it remains on active problem list. Should it pull from dx. in ED problem list? A STEMI from years ago should not be included in this population. Thank you.
Measuring time to treatment but not recognizing that STEMI may not qualify until after patient has arrived. Not recognizing that there may be a delay in consent. No mention of subacute being excluded.
Balloon time - one speaker on recent webinar said when wire crosses blockage. Not allowed in NCDR registry. They did not mention thrombectomy as balloon timing
Leave ED times do not always accurately document when patient leaves but rather only when patients are removed from system. This measure would do better as manual abstraction or further refinement. Thank you.
