STRIVE ACS Critical Pathways Workshop
Improving Outcomes for Patients With ACS
The optimal management of patients with ACS continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Recent studies in both STEMI and UA/NSTEMI provide evidence for updated approaches to risk stratification, reperfusion therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, drug-eluting stents, adjunctive antithrombotic therapies, and long-term therapies to prevent secondary events after hospital discharge. The ACC/AHA guidelines for both STEMI and UA/NSTEMI are expected to be updated again to address many of these recent developments. While most clinicians are aware of ACS guidelines and studies, there is still a significant gap between real-world ACS management and ideal evidence-based medicine. Results from quality improvement programs and ACS registries now show that implementation of guidelines and best practices through critical pathways translates into reduced mortality. Thus, the STRIVE Critical Pathways CME/CE Workshop, "Improving Outcomes for Patients With ACS," has been developed to provide your hospital team with an opportunity to review the latest ACS clinical information and apply it to the treatment of patients. The workshop will include expert presentations and will be followed by hands-on breakout sessions during which you will review sample critical pathways and implementation tools such as standard orders, admission and discharge checklists, and other reminders to reduce common errors of omission. Each participant will be provided with the workshop slides and tools on a flash drive to customize materials for use at their own institution.
This CME activity offered up to 4 category 1 credits from the Network for Continuing Medical Education, as well as up to 4.8 contact hours is provided by EduPro Resources LLC.
This series of live activities was supported by an educational grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanofi Pharmaceuticals Partnership.

ICH Critical Pathways Regional Workshop
The Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) Critical Pathways Workshop is part of the iTEAM™ Initiative, a CME program designed to improve the care of ICH patients from hospital admission through discharge. Although ICH management guidelines exist, the approaches actually taken in the care of these patients vary widely. This disparity, together with the need for institutions to comply with such quality assurance initiatives as JCAHO's, drives the need for critical pathways. Through this series of four interactive ICH Critical Pathways Workshops, your hospital team will have the opportunity to address the critical issues by reviewing the latest evidence-based clinical information, which can then be applied to the treatment of patients. The workshop will include expert presentations on the management of ICH and the development of critical pathways, followed by hands-on, individualized breakout sessions during which you will review sample critical pathways templates and tools (eg, standard orders and admission/discharge checklists) as a starting point to developing suitable pathways for your institution.
This CME activity offered up to 4 category 1 credits from the Network for Continuing Medical Education, as well as up to 4.2 contact hours is provided by EduPro Resources LLC.
