Abstract 209: Education Level and Long-Term Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction: The China PEACE Prospective AMI Study Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In a national Chinese cohort of patients hospitalized with AMI, lower educational attainment was associated with a higher risk of adverse events in the year following discharge. This association highlights the need to explore mechanisms underlying this relationship, and to consider interventions for adults with lower levels of education.

Abstract 150: Resource Utilization Patterns and Outcomes Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusion: These findings suggest that many patients with ACS do not receive appropriate recommended antithrombotic prophylaxis, and opportunities exist to improve therapy. Increased use of software tools such as AQuA may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.

Abstract 235: Acute Care Measures of Rehabilitation Needs Associated with Discharge to Rehabilitation for Patients with Minor Stroke Poster Session II
Conclusions: Rehabilitation needs were documented for patients with minor stroke and almost one third were discharged to receive inpatient rehabilitation in an IRF or SNF. Taking pre-stroke disability into consideration for transition planning from acute care could facilitate earlier communication and planning with the next point of care.
