ST-Map implementation was associated with increased ischemia monitoring; hypothesis-generating, warrants randomized outcome trials before practice change.
Does the implementation of ST-Map software improve nurses' use of ischemia monitoring and quality of care in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Implementation of ST-Map software significantly increases nurses' utilization of continuous ischemia monitoring and reduces the time to obtain a 12-lead ECG in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
