Abstract: Funding Acknowledgements: Type of funding sources: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main funding source(s): Sanofi Aventis S.A. Introduction: Optimisation of the care of patients after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a fundamental step to improve health outcomes and avoid consecutive cardiovascular events however data on how care is provided is often absent. Purpose: Our objective was to analyse the main quality indicators in the post-ACS patient pathway so as to determine the actions which avoid future CDV events. Methods: In a random sample of 100 patients between January 2018 and December 2019, we selected the indicators which most affect secondary prevention in patients post-ACS. All patients had been diagnosed with ACS within a tertiary-care hospital with a 24h interventional cardiology lab. The indicators were retrospectively analysed using the patients' health record. Results: The main results are presented in Table 1. Conclusions: Based on this, we proposed an integrated protocol for all patients post-ACS which will begin in 2021 within this tertiary-care hospital. Within this protocol, the information contained in the discharge report will be improved and automatized as much as possible so as re-evaluate at a later date.
