Abstract 173: Reducing the Burden of Low Risk Chest Pain Admissions; Role of the Expedited Outpatient Stress Testing Quality Improvement Initiative [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusion: This local program for rapid out-patient testing for low risk chest pain patients in the ED is feasible, safe, and effective. Lack of patient adherence to follow-up is a concern with this out-patient approach. Improving time to stress testing and clinic waiting times have been identified as institutional priorities on the basis of this QI project.
