Crouse Hospital has implemented new web-based technology designed to reduce the time it takes for a patient to receive treatment for a heart attack. Through the system, a patients heart rhythm and other key cardiac indicators are transmitted wirelessly in real time to the hospital from an ambulance, which saves significant diagnosis and treatment time once a patient arrives in the emergency room. The LIFENET System, which uses the latest digital technology, is the first web-based system of its kind and was created for emergency medical services and hospital teams so they can set up heart attack alert systems in their communities. The goal is to reduce door-to-balloon time for these patients, saving heart muscle, and ultimately, more lives.
