Time Critical Diagnosis System

Overview

Missouri’s Goal: To improve health outcomes by establishing a Time Critical Diagnosis (TCD) system for Missourians who suffer acute trauma, stroke, or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 

Missouri has enacted laws that creates the Time Critical Diagnosis (TCD) System through which emergency medical care is provided for patients who experience trauma, stroke, or STEMI, a potentially fatal form of heart attack. All of these conditions require quick assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a facility that can provide timely, definitive care to minimize risk for preventable complications and death.
