First responders/EMS outreach
Quarterly STEMI case review
Interventional cardiologists on the medical staff
of Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular
Hospital – Dallas, met with teams of first
responders/EMS each quarter to review at least
three unique STEMI cases from the previous
quarter. Each STEMI case review included an
extensive feedback component comprised
of culprit issue, procedure performed and
discharge disposition. Survivors of these cases
were also invited to attend with leadership
from the corresponding EMS team to tour the
catheterization lab. Throughout the Dallas and
Tarrant County regions, EMS outreach visits
continued on a monthly basis to encourage
feedback for greater collaboration between EMS
departments and the hospital.

clinical teams were able to connect with nearly
200 EMS providers and thank them for their
service to the community.
Promoting healthcare careers
Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital
– Dallas believes it is important to provide
opportunities for youth to consider healthcare
careers. The Community Health Needs
Assessment indicated an opportunity to improve
awareness for the broad variety of healthcare
careers. Improving this awareness and exposure
to these careers, specifically with at-risk youth,
may lead to improved socio-economic futures
for families.
