KOS heart infarction - Where are we going?

Abstract

The introduction of a new patient care model after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Poland as part of the Comprehensive Patient Care Program after a Heart Attack (KOS) resulted in improved patient treatment quality and reduced mortality due to diseases of the cardiovascular system within 12 months after the onset of heart attack – these are the first results after two years of functioning of this model. The program has been operating since October 1, 2017, and was introduced to improve the care of patients after cardiovascular incidents and its main goal is to improve the quality of treatment and reduce patient mortality. The program has already been corrected due to limitations and problems reported by the cardiologists.
