      Transferring a STEMI to the acute care hospital from a 15-bed acute care hospital will give the receiving hospital longer door to balloon time and the transferring hospital will not get credit for the arrival to transfer time since only the receiving hospital will qualify for the initial patient population denominator. This scenario is about 2 hospitals with one account number and one CCN.

      Our Health System comprised of multiple facilities. I abstract two of these facilities with the same CCN. The patient presented to the 15 - bed acute care facility ED @ 07:49 with chest pain. Initial EKG showed sinus bradycardia, borderline EKG. The second EKG showed STEMI. The patient was immediately transferred to the 500 -bed acute care facility for immediate catheterization. The patient arrived at 11:36 in the receiving ED.
      Do I abstract 07:49 or 11:36 as the ED arrival time for STEMI measure purposes?
