The EMS system plays a key role in shortening the process of caring for patients with STEMI. Patients who are transported by EMS have shorter treatment intervals than those patients who arrive at the hospital by other means [51]. Patients can be encouraged to use EMS appropriately. A community intervention to shorten the time interval from symptom onset to ED arrival was shown to increase the proportion of ACS patients who used EMS for transport to the ED, though no effect was seen on the time interval of interest [52].
