| A STEMI is a myocardial infarction with ST elevation on ECG [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/STEMI], but this article has nothing to do with that. See [[Myocardial infarction]] for instructions on coding an MI.
| |
| | |
| CODE STEMI is a city wide alert system (similiar to a CODE BLUE) that is called on the PA system in the hospital to alert specific personnel to assist with this patient. They will not go to ER first to facilitate a very rapid "primary" PTCA. These patients are then sent from the heart cath lab to CCU at STB or HSC.

| | |
| This is relevant for data collection purposes because it is one of the few scenarios in which a patient would be admitted from home to an ICU, and because unlike other procedures we don't collect this as admitted from OR.

| == [[Previous Location]] == | |
| Code this specific situation previous location home or another hospital if that is where they came from, i.e. previous location is not ER.
| |
| | |
| == [[Primary Admit Diagnosis]] ==
| |
| Code the primary admit diagnosis as [[angiogram]] or [[angioplasty]].
| |
| If more "responsible for admission" diagnoses are present (such as a cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock) of course code these as primary admit diagnosis, and then code angio after as appropriate.
