Key result
MIMIC establishes the first locally tailored multicomponent intervention to improve AMI care in sub-Saharan Africa.
- n=20
Why the study?
Uptake of evidence-based care for acute myocardial infarction is suboptimal in Tanzania, with no published interventions to improve care in sub-Saharan Africa.
Population
20 physicians, nurses, implementation scientists, and administrators at a referral hospital in northern Tanzania
Design
Interdisciplinary co-design and quality improvement adaptation study

Implication
Enables testing of context-adapted AMI strategies in sub-Saharan EDs; extends Brazilian multicomponent evidence via ADAPT-ITT framework.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Interdisciplinary design team (n=20) including physicians, nurses, implementation scientists, and administrators, along with emergency department providers and patients at a referral hospital in northern Tanzania (KCMC). An audit included 75 ED patients with AMI.
I
Intervention
Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Myocardial Infarction Care in Tanzania (MIMIC), consisting of physician reminders, pocket cards, champions, provider training, and patient education.
The MIMIC intervention is the first locally tailored, multicomponent quality improvement strategy co-designed to improve acute myocardial infarction care in sub-Saharan Africa.
Limitations
- Focus on a single hospital limits generalizability to other settings
- Focused only on the emergency department phase of AMI care
- Efficacy of the MIMIC intervention is currently unknown as testing is ongoing
Cite This Study
Hertz et al. (2024) studied Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=20). MIMIC (Multicomponent Intervention to Improve Myocardial Infarction Care) was evaluated on Co-design and adaptation of a quality improvement intervention. An interdisciplinary team successfully co-designed MIMIC, the first locally tailored multicomponent intervention to improve acute myocardial infarction care in a sub-Saharan African emergency department.
