With this three-year agreement, the AHA and CSC will develop and implement a system of care quality improvements for STEMI in China with a goal of systematic improvement and efficiencies in the care delivery system. Hospital networks and emergency medical systems in Tianjin, Suzhou, Beijing and Shanghai will be part of the initial collaborative that will collect, share and report back on data regarding intervention designs, new and revised protocols, and implementation strategies for STEMI systems of care. Additionally, a public awareness campaign will educate consumers about the signs and symptoms of STEMI and the importance of immediately calling 911 for ambulance transport to the hospital.
