The key to technologic assessment of the chest pain unit lies in the recognition of the unit's ability to optimize outcomes of an illness with high incidence, high acute mortality and significant chronic morbidity. The chest pain observation unit, as an adjunct to the emergency department (ED), offers health managers and administrators the clinical tool, first envisioned by Dr. Lown in the 1960s, to achieve improved quality and cost-effectiveness of acute chest pain management as health care moves into a new century.
胸痛单元技术评估的关键在于认识到该单元有能力优化一种发病率高、急性死亡率高且慢性发病率高的疾病的治疗效果。胸痛观察单元作为急诊科的辅助机构，为卫生管理人员和行政人员提供了一种临床工具，这是洛恩博士在20世纪60年代首次设想的，随着医疗保健进入新世纪，该工具可提高急性胸痛管理的质量和成本效益。
