A patient experiences a stroke several days later after being admitted with another diagnosis, what do I consider the first day for compliance with the performance measures?
The first day is considered the day the patient was assessed with stroke symptoms. -Top- • Can the organization develop its own performance measures for stroke? Yes. An organization can develop additional performance measures, but they must report on the four measures mandated by The Joint Commission. -Top- • If my organization administers IA t-PA- does it count in the performance measure for IV t-PA? No. The performance measure is specific to IV t-PA. -Top- • How does the organization evaluate the patients’ perception of care and program effectiveness? Patient satisfaction tools and phone surveys are methods use to evaluate patient perception of care. Program-specific perception of care, for example, may be obtained through a stroke patient-specific satisfaction survey that is not related to a survey of the general nursing unit where the patient received care. -Top- • Medical Records Security After Hours We contract with an after hours cleaning service.
