Recognition Measures for Mission: Lifeline
  • Updated:Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:50:00 AM
Mission: Lifeline Recognition Measures

There are three levels of involvement with Mission: Lifeline: Participation, Recognition and Certification. For every program, all system components (EMS, Non-PCI/STEMI Referral Centers and PCI/STEMI Receiving Centers) requirements must be met in order for the system to qualify for each level of involvement.

The Mission: Lifeline Recognition Program will acknowledge STEMI Systems, EMS, Non-PCI/STEMI Referral Centers and PCI/STEMI Receiving Centers for their efforts to improve quality of care for STEMI patients. This is the second level of involvement. Systems and their components should participate in the approved Mission: Lifeline national registry program, ACTION Registry-GWTG. All achievement measures will be considered in the composite score. All reporting measures will be reviewed and collected but will not be used in the composite score.   It should be noted that at this time, only data from STEMI Referral and STEMI Receiving Center Programs can be submitted.
