Learning Objectives:

Evaluate one patient benefit to minimizing the time from MI symptoms to complete revascularization.
Recommend one patient benefit to timely revascularization for STEMI patients.
Analyze how to design a successful team approach for improving patient throughput (i.e., door to first PCI device).
