Accelerated Chest Pain Workup Equity Task Force 

Description:

Chest pain evaluations are one of the most frequent reasons adults present to the ED. An ED cardiac work up includes serial lab testing and often leads to post-ED follow-up recommendations, which burden health system capacity. This project involves a retrospective chart review of ongoing clinical care to identify the effects of the implementation of the pathway and troponin assay changes on the evaluation of chest pain at UI Health.
