Summary

The goal of this pragmatic trial is to test the benefit of using a teleconsultation for referring a patient with a heart attack at an early stage from the suburban hospital to the heart centre. A teleconsultation with an expert cardiologist will be conducted by the physician at a suburban hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:

To what extent does the use of a teleconsultation for a patient with a heart attack work well in lowering the proportion of deaths among patients with heart attacks who will be referred from suburban hospitals to the heart centre? To what extent does the use of a teleconsultation for a patient with a heart attack work well in raising the proportion of stable cases with heart attacks who will be referred from suburban hospitals to the heart centre? Participants will be asked to participate in a teleconsultation referral pathway from the suburban hospital to the heart centre.

Researchers will compare the change in the proportion of death rate and survivors or stable cases in the intervention versus the control group during referral from suburban hospital to heart centre.

Making use of telehealth and smart applications will positively improve the quality of the provided health service at suburban hospitals where there is a limited number of specialized doctors.
