Improving Acute Myocardial Infarction care: Virtual Learning Collaborative

Registration opens May 17, 2010 via webex

Safer Healthcare Now! in partnership with the Canadian Patient Safety Institute invites you to participate in an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Virtual Learning Collaborative- Time is Myocardium, designed to improve the timely administration of Thrombolytic agents.

Over the past year Safer Healthcare Now! teams have reported that between 44 and 70 per cent, or an average of 62 per cent of AMI patients who received thrombolytics had this myocardium-saving treatment delivered within 30 minutes of hospital arrival. For safer care, we need to improve the timely administration of thrombolytic agents!

Participants will attend four learning sessions and a closing congress scheduled over the course of the year, beginning in June 2010 and ending in February 2011. The learning sessions and team calls will be held using WebEx technology. Registration opens on May 17, 2010.  Check http://www.saferhealthcarenow.ca/ for further information.
