Implementation of a High-sensitivity Troponin Assay for Adult Patients Who Present to the Emergency Department With Chest Pain: The Role of Clinical Decision Support
Using clinical decision support, the implementation of a new hs-TnI and accelerated diagnostic protocol was associated with shorter ED LOS and fewer hospitalizations for adult patients with chest pain who were assessed in the ED. These results suggest that the protocol is effective and safe in real-world clinical settings.
