Optimizing and Standardizing ACS Patient Pathways Canterbury and the New Zealand Healthcare System
ACHIEVING MEASURABLY BETTER HEALTHCARE PERFORMANCE Optimizing and Standardizing ACS Patient Pathways Canterbury and the New Zealand Healthcare System Patients with chest pain (or other symptoms of a heart attack) are one of the most common patient groups presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). Traditionally, 90% of these patients would be admitted to the ED, exposing many patients to unnecessary risk through invasive testing and representing a large burden to the health system. An integrated clinical team at the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) recognized that the problem could be solved via use of an Accelerated Diagnostics Pathway (ADP) that enabled the safe early rule out of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Research partners and collaborations in accordance with the ICARE-ACS initiative led to expansive analytics and outcomes data in this area including application of evidence-based, safe, accelerated diagnostic pathways for rapid discharge of low-risk patients presenting to the ED with suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Identification of ‘low-risk’ patients using TIMI risk profiles and cardiac biomarkers measured on admission enabled discharge protocols that maximized patient safety while admitting high-risk patients in need of further care. Iterative improvements were observed year over year following adoption of the EDACS risk score and using more sensitive cardiac biomarkers. While maximum discharge rates can be observed with ADP processes leveraging high sensitivity troponin, safe discharge is also possible using point of care. Implementation of these ADP pathways have positively impacted Key Performance Indictors (KPIs) throughout the Canterbury Health System including median length of stay, number of patients transported to central hospitals, cost of prolonged stays and cost of transports, patient satisfaction, and increased clinician confidence.

Scan, Scan, Scan – Everywhere You Go
CEO UPDATE 25 January 2021 | 25 Kohi-ta–tea 2021 Scan, scan, scan – everywhere you go When did you last go to the supermarket? What day was it? And what time did you enter and leave the store? When did you visit the playground with the kids? Can you recall whether you scanned in the last time you visited a café, the chemist or library? The announcement yesterday of a community case of COVID-19 in a returnee after they’d left managed isolation is a sobering and timely reminder that we can’t let our guard down – we need to keep up all the good habits that served us well last year. COVID-19 is an extremely tricky virus to manage, as we’ve seen overseas and here in New Zealand. Thankfully this person was diligently using the app everywhere she went. It’s so important to use the COVID Tracer app to scan QR codes and to have the Bluetooth functionality turned on. Turning on Bluetooth functionality will allow you to receive an alert if you have been near another app user who tests positive for COVID-19. If you haven’t already done so, download the COVID Tracer app today, turn on Bluetooth and scan or keep a written record of where you go and when, and who you are with. It’s also important to stay home if you are unwell, maintain stringent hygiene practices, including washing and drying your hands and cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use your If you’ve been travelling in Northland recently, you can check here for elbow.
