TIME (Timely Intervention In Myocardial Emergencies) - Based on a pilot program developed by Emory EM in concert with Grady EMS the Emory Heart Center, Medtronic/Physio-Control and Cingular Wireless, TIME is a community wide consortium that allows metro Atlanta EMS crews to acquire a 12 lead EKG in the homes of heart attack victims, transmit to an ED receiving station, and transport consenting patients directly to the nearest cardiac catheterization lab for emergent angioplasty.

HyperNet - Emory EM is a key partner in a network of academic emergency departments that are exploring strategies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertension, a leading cause of stroke, heart attacks and kidney failure.
