Comprehensive statewide healthcare system with 18 hospitals in Indiana IUH Methodist was the first to become certified in Indiana as a Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center in 2014 treating over 800 complex stroke patients a year. In addition to the CSC we have 3 other Primary Stroke Centers in the system and hoping to add another in 2015 9/17/2018 4
Approximately 85 centers that are currently certified Revised standards in July 2014 Started reporting 8 CSC measures in Jan 2015 Definition of a CSC A facility or system with the necessary personnel infrastructure expertise With programs to diagnose and treat stroke patients Who require a high intensity of medical and surgical care, specialized tests, or interventional therapies 9/17/2018
A Comprehensive Stroke Center Act as a resource center for other facilities in their region providing expertise about managing particular cases offering guidance for triage of patients making diagnostic tests or treatments available to patients treated initially at a PSC an educational resource for other hospitals and health care professionals in a city or region. 9/17/2018

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!
