title: Cooperative Cardiovascular Project.
abstract: This national project evaluated elements of care for patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction. Opportunities for improving processes of care, especially in the use and timing of aspirin and thrombolytics, were identified. Additional data regarding other quality indicators is available. It is hoped that this data can be used to help create or incorporate changes in existing AMI protocols, ultimately improving care and outcomes for these patients.
