What are the key processes associated with more timely treatment?
Several key processes are associated strongly with more timely treatment, including a commitment to an explicit goal of improving door-to-balloon (D2B) times that is motivated by internal and external pressures, including senior management support; innovative protocols; flexibility in refining standardized protocols; uncompromising individual clinical leaders; collaborative teams; data feedback to monitor progress, identify problems, and successes; and an organizational culture that fosters resilience to challenges or setbacks to improvement.
