We need YOU to weigh-in. What are some time-saving STEMI practices you've discovered in your practice?

We've updated our comment system on ACVP Blog to hopefully make it easier and more interactive to comment. So add your idea---it doesn't have to be a best practice, maybe just a little thing you overlooked---and vote on the best, most-interesting ideas from other ACVP members!
