      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS996: Appropriate Treatment for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Patients in the Emergency Department (ED). In alignment with the measure’s intent, hospitals should ideally capture the PCI intervention time for the STEMI culprit lesion. The culprit lesion is the reason for STEMI, and this measure seeks to encourage timely restoration of perfusion to treat the STEMI.

      For the required PCI time, does it have to be the time of the STEMI culprit lesion or can it be the PCI time of any blockage/lesion that also needs attention?
