Diagnostic investigations in adults with suspected stroke-improvement of door-to-imaging time: a best practice implementation project

Original language description

Objectives: This evidence implementation project aimed to assess and improve compliance with evidence-based neuroimaging criteria for adult patients with suspected stroke. Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and severe disability, requiring timely and accurate diagnosis. Clinical guidelines recommend brain imaging within 60 minutes of hospital arrival for suspected stroke patients. This project involved hospitals in North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, UK, serving 850,000 people with over 800 admissions annually. Methods: The JBI Evidence Implementation Framework was used to guide this project. JBI software, the Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES), as well as JBI&apos;s Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) approach, were used to conduct the audit and implementation phases. The project followed three stages: (1) implementation planning, (2) baseline assessment and implementation, and (3) impact evaluation. Three audit criteria were used to represent best practices for diagnosing suspected stroke patients. Results: The baseline audit revealed low compliance with the first criterion, with only 2.9% (1/35) of patients receiving a CT head scan within 1 hour of admission. In the follow-up audit, compliance improved to 45.2% (14/31). The other two criteria, diagnosis by a trained health care professional and baseline ECG assessment, had already achieved 100% compliance in the baseline audit. Conclusions: Compliance with evidence-based neuroimaging criteria improved after implementing targeted educational strategies and training. The rate of CT scans conducted within 1 hour increased, although door-To-imaging times remain suboptimal compared with achievable benchmarks of LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO 20 minutes. Ongoing education and training are crucial for sustaining high compliance and improving stroke patient outcomes. Spanish abstract: http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A324.
