• Performance Measures 5/24/2021 17

Questions • What benchmarks are you using • Current challenges • Process for multiple stroke alert patients • Patient family assessments • Cognition/ Respite/ transition of care communication

Competence Tracers • Physician and APN • Credentialing and privileging • Education requirements • Clinical Services and Allied Health • Expanded to imaging areas • Rehab staff and RRT

Education • • Medical directors/ Physicians Emergency Department Neuro ICU Stroke Units Interventional Radiology Stroke Team RRT Other departments and support staff

Helpful Hints • Review active inpatient census • Encourage additional staff • Request team availability • IT staff experts • Identify strong escorts and communication across the system • Team meetings and prep with champions • Review institutional initiatives and review weak areas (individual care plans, education, falls)

Core team drive the process • Everyone needs to be able to describe how we provide care, algorithms, outcomes and availability of experts • Continuous Journey • Attend national, local and web education offerings and meetings to network and continuously learn!
