Project: Creation of a defined in-hospital stroke alert protocol
A review of CT scans and medical records indicated that during 2017, 51 inpatients in Regina had potential signs of a stroke. Of that number, 21 were diagnosed with having one and only six of which met the recommended timeframe of 30 minutes or less from when they were first looked at to when they received their CT Scan. With that in mind, the purpose of Dr. Faires’ CQIP project was to develop an in-house stroke alert protocol.
