Patients. The overarching goal of the initiative is to reduce mortality and morbidity for STEMI patients and to improve their overall quality of care. To meet the overarching goal, Mission: Lifeline Montana will bring together:  Patients and care givers  EMS  Physicians, nurses and other providers  Non-PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) capable STEMI Referral hospitals  PCI capable STEMI-Receiving hospitals  Departments of Health  EMS regulatory authority/ Office of EMS  Rural Health Association  Quality Improvement Organizations  State and local policymakers  Third-party payers For each component of the system of care, Mission: Lifeline Montana will: 1) define the ideal practice; 2) recommend strategies to achieve the ideal practice; 3) provide resources/tools to achieve the ideal practice; 4) recommend metrics for structure, process, and outcomes; and 5) recommend criteria for recognition and certification in a comprehensive system design as shown below. To meet the needs of the patient throughout the continuum of care (beginning with the patient’s entry into the system at symptom onset, through each component of the system, and the patient’s return to the local community and physician for rehabilitative care), Mission: Lifeline Montana uses a community-based, multidisciplinary, patient-centric approach. This Agreement marks the launch of the local Mission: Lifeline Montana STEMI system development. The goal for Mission: Lifeline can only be accomplished through collaborative efforts at the local level with EMS agencies and hospitals to develop a STEMI system of care. This effort will launch a collaboration between each EMS agency and Hospital executing this MOU (collectively, “Mission: Lifeline System Participant”) and the AHA. By participating in this effort, system participants will commit to making changes in their infrastructure and operations to improve their ability to identify, triage and treat STEMI patients with the most appropriate and timely care. Each Mission: Lifeline System Participant will support these goals by working with one another as set forth in this Agreement.
