An electronic order set for acute myocardial infarction is associated with improved patient outcomes through better adherence to clinical practice guidelines.
The researchers investigated the association between the use of an evidence-based, electronic order set (OS) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and better adherence to clinical practice guidelines among 5,789 patients hospitalized with AMI. They found that use of the electronic OS is associated with increased adherence to evidence-based therapies and lower 30-day mortality.
