Abstract
Hospitalized patients affected by ACS consider the cause of the onset and prepare to optimize their future health. These patients construct personal models to explain their disease, which may persist throughout continuum of care. One way to improve health outcomes for patients with ACS is to establish a shared knowledge about the illness and formulate personal care plans that cover the hospital stay as well as possibly extending into primary care after discharge, based on the patients' point of view.
