Texas Health Resources 2009 Quality Conference Award Winner -- Systemness Award

The Cardiac Level 1 Transfer Protocol at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth won the Systemness Award on April 24 at the annual Texas Health Resources Quality Conference.

Heart attack patients transported to outlying community hospitals in the Texas Health system are transferred through this protocol to the Catheterizaion Lab (Cath Lab) at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, where they can receive lifesaving care to preserve heart muscle.

The protocol sets a target of 120 minutes for door-to-balloon time in the Cath Lab, with a stretch target of 90 minutes.
