Millions of patients present to the emergency department (ED) each year with chest pain. As the second-leading ED presentation, unspecified chest pain is a significant concern for emergency medicine teams, as they must identify and diagnose those cases that require further markup and potential intervention. TeamHealth utilizes HEART Score to help clinicians decide which patients should be admitted and who can be safely discharged.<\/p>\n
