title: At this center, 'staff' training means everyone.
abstract: As the staff of the chest pain center at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital moved toward reaccreditation, they paid careful attention to details. The ED valet received training in who to call when a chest pain patient arrives. The patient access service clerk was provided with drawings indicating where symptoms typically appear. Triage nurses received training in 12-lead EKGs and acute coronary syndrome.
