Study design. This study consists of 11 clusters with 12 hospitals. At study start, all clusters will apply “usual care” (control condition) to all patients, i.e., risk assessment and subsequent management includes hs-cTnT but not the application of the 0/1-h algorithm. One randomly allocated cluster will sequentially start to follow the 0/1-h algorithm after a transition period of 1.5 months in all chest pain patients (intervention condition; 0/1 care)
