The cardiac initiative is a collaboration between the Montana Cardiovascular Health Program and the Cardiac Workgroup, a statewide group of health professionals that was formed in 2009. The purpose of the initiative is to:
- Improve quality of care in Montana for heart attack patients by creating a statewide coordinated care program.
- Provide Critical Access Hospitals with the tools in the setting of acute myocardial infarction through evidence-based care plans and transfer protocols that are specific to the facility’s needs and situation.
