The 'pit-crew' model for improving door-to-needle times in endovascular stroke therapy: a Six-Sigma project.
BACKGROUND Delays in delivering endovascular stroke therapy adversely affect outcomes. Time-sensitive treatments such as stroke interventions benefit from methodically developed protocols. Clearly defined roles in these protocols allow for parallel processing of tasks, resulting in consistent delivery of care. OBJECTIVE To present the outcomes of a quality-improvement (QI) process directed at...
متن کاملImproving Door-to-Needle Times for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Faster treatment with intravenous alteplase (tissue-type plasminogen activator) results in better outcomes. Although the benchmark door-to-needle time (DTN) has been set at 60 minutes, many centers have been able to exceed this benchmark with median times from 20 to 51 minutes. These local efforts have been supported by national and international efforts to reduce DTN time. For example, the Ame...
متن کاملSimple text-messaging intervention is associated with improved door-to-needle times for acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Timely administration of intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV tPA) is associated with improved outcomes for acute ischemic stroke; yet, developing processes to consistently provide prompt treatment remains a challenge. We developed and evaluated a simple quality improvement intervention designed to improve door-to-needle (DTN) times for resident-led Code Stro...
متن کاملImproving door-to-needle times: a single center validation of the target stroke hypothesis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE National guidelines recommend imaging within 25 minutes of emergency department arrival and intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator within 60 minutes of emergency department arrival for patients with acute stroke. In 2007, we implemented a new institutional acute stroke care model to include 10 best practices and evaluated the effect of this intervention on improvin...
متن کاملLean six sigma process improvement in specimen receiving to improve stat chemistry turnaround times
Objective: As a consequence of stat turnaround times (TATs) chronically exceeding 60 minutes, our laboratory was facing pressure to divert limited resources toward the implementation of an emergency department satellite laboratory. Peer-reviewed literature in clinical laboratory quality assurance and improvement indicates that between 60-70% of errors occur at the pre-analytical level. Thus...
