House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)

Aims

  1. Critically evaluate the existing stroke activation and ET protocols for compliance with new 2018 metrics and guidelines.
  2. Review DTP times under the existing protocol to assess for potential inefficiencies or gaps in care delivery, specifically addressing differences between processes at JHN compared to ED/Gibbon.
  3. Make changes to the existing stroke alert protocol to better reflect current guidelines, streamline care, and ultimately improve process metrics (DTP times).
  4. Establish a system for recursive continuous analysis of AIS patients to identify protocol gaps, inefficiencies and areas for further intervention.

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)

Primary goals:

  1. Reduce door to treatment times (both DTN and DTP) to meet and exceed existing guidelines metrics.
  2. Educate residents about acute stroke management, including national guidelines and new institutional protocols to improve efficiency during stroke alerts.
