Congratulations!! <br />We are excited to inform you that Cabarrus EMS has achieved the 2015 Mission: Lifeline° EMS Gold Level <br />Recognition Award. This award is based upon the achievements as identified through your agency's online <br />application submission of data representative of care delivered in 2014. <br />Collaboration among pre - hospital and hospital providers is the essence of Mission: Lifeline. The American <br />Heart Association recognizes the vital importance Emergency Medical System providers provide to the overall <br />success of Mission: Lifeline STEMI Systems of Care. The correct tools and training allow EMS providers to <br />rapidly identify the STEMI, promptly notify the destination Center and trigger an early response from the <br />awaiting hospital personnel. <br />As an EMS agency that delivers education in STEMI identification, provides access to 12 lead ECG machines and <br />develops protocols derived from ACC /AHA STEMI Guidelines, your medics are driving improvements in the <br />care and outcomes of STEMI patients. <br />The criteria to achieve the Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold award is based on meeting the achievement measures <br />aggregated annually for two years with no single measure scoring below 75 %.
