Case Study

STEMI Team Activation

At a Glance

A regional hospital system partnered with STATLINX to support one of its most time-sensitive clinical workflows: STEMI activations for patients experiencing potential heart attacks.

Partnership

24 Years & Counting

Activated

7,000 STEMIs

Challenge:

The hospital relied on a highly urgent, life-critical STEMI activation process that required precision, speed, and accountability. Because STEMI notifications indicate a potential heart attack, every activation must reach the appropriate physicians and nursing staff immediately, with confirmation that the care team is mobilizing. The hospital sought a dependable communication partner to help ensure this vital process was executed consistently and accurately every time.

Solution:

The hospital partnered with STATLINX to support STEMI activation communications.

When a STEMI notification is received:

  1. The hospital contacts STATLINX to initiate the activation.

  2. STATLINX immediately contacts the three physicians on call.

  3. Simultaneously, a page is sent to the STEMI nursing team, typically consisting of three nurses.

  4. STATLINX monitors responses from the nursing team.

  5. Once responses are received, confirmation is provided that the STEMI team has been successfully activated.

Impact:

With STATLINX supporting the activation process, the hospital gained confidence that critical STEMI notifications were being communicated efficiently and consistently. The structured workflow ensures physicians and nurses are notified quickly, responses are tracked, and activation confirmations are documented, helping support timely patient care during cardiac emergencies.

Conclusion:

Through proactive collaboration and strategic operational adjustments, we not only met, but exceeded the practice’s expectations. This case highlights our dedication to delivering responsive, high-quality support that enhances member performance and patient care.
