Abstract 271: Variations in Troponin Utilization in the Veterans Affairs Health System [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusions: There is substantial variation across facilities in the variation of abnormal troponin results. We aim to utilize this data to study additional facility-level, clinician-level, and patient-level factors that may be contributing to this variation. Future findings may allow us to identify interventions that can improve quality of care in the workup of acute coronary syndrome across VA facilities.
