Map of PCI Capability in Idaho, 2010

Purpose

This map has been used by EMS providers to know the end goal for transportation of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients. Also, EMS directors will use the map in the development of their local STEMI plans.

Software Used

Arc GIS 9.3

Data Used

Data on cities with hospitals was gathered from Idaho Hospital Association, data on availability of PCI services and helicopter facilities was collected by HDSP and the Cardiac EMS subcommittee.

Methods Used

This is the 5th iteration of this map. Changes have been made due to new information on PCI capability as well as input from the Cardiac EMS subcommittee. Based on their recommendations, the map has evolved into an outline of the state and counties (with no color fill) and a minimal legend.
