title: Comparison of documentation and evidence-based medicine use for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction among cardiology, teaching, and nonteaching teams.
abstract: Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI) are common and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Following evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines is one way to ensure that these patients are cared for appropriately. This pilot study examined data from patients with NSTEMI to assess both documentation quality and use of EBM across multiple teams. Medical records were reviewed for significant differences in documentation quality in areas including history and physical exam, treatment, and inpatient mortality. While total documentation quality and mortality were not significantly different between groups, cardiology teams adhered to evidence-based recommendations more often than other teams.
