ABSTRACT
Clinical pathways are useful tools for conveying and reinforcing best practices to standardize care and optimize patient outcomes across myriad conditions. The NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System has utilized a clinical chest pain pathway for more than 20 years to facilitate the timely recognition and management of patients presenting with chest pain syndromes and acute coronary syndromes. This chest pain pathway is regularly updated by an expanding group of key stakeholders, which has extended from the Columbia University Irving Medical Center to encompass the entire regional healthcare system, which includes 8 hospitals. In this 2023 update of the NewYork-Presbyterian clinical chest pain pathway, we present the key changes to the healthcare system-wide clinical chest pain pathway.
