Key Indicator 1 Key indicators Number of patients scanned within 1 hour of arrival at hospital –This is for stroke patients only. Patients who were already in hospital at the time of stroke are not included, as arrival time is irrelevant here. This indicator is for Accelerating Stroke improvement (ASI) Metric 4 (and is also linked to NICE Quality Standard 2). Contents Page last viewed End Graph

Key Indicator 3 Key indicators Number of patients who arrived on stroke bed within 4 hours of hospital arrival (when hospital arrival was out of hours) –This is based on stroke patients who arrived out of hours. Out of hours means the patient arrived after 6pm or before 8am Monday-Friday, or at the weekend or on a Bank Holiday. Patients who were already in hospital at the time of stroke are not included as arrival time is irrelevant here. This indicator is used to distinguish hospitals which have well organised direct admission to stroke units 'out of hours'. Contents Page last viewed End Graph

Key Indicator 4 Key indicators Number of patients seen by stroke consultant or associate specialist within 24 hours –This is for stroke patients only. Patients already in hospital at the time of stroke are included (onset time would be the ‘0’ hour here, whereas for newly admitted patients the ‘0’ hour is the time of arrival at hospital).

Key Indicator 5 Key indicators Number of patients with a known time of onset for stroke symptoms –This is based on stroke patients only. It includes patients who were already in hospital at time of stroke. This is included as a key indicator to reward those services which are putting effort into establishing the onset time for more of their patients. Also, it contributes to higher quality and more useful data, as more standards can be measured according to onset time. Contents Page last viewed End Graph

Key Indicator 6 Key indicators Number of patients for whom their prognosis/diagnosis was discussed with relative/carer within 72 hours where applicable –This is for stroke patients only. Patients already in hospital at the time of stroke are included. This is used as a key indicator as it is a measure which looks at whether hospitals are involving carers/relatives.

This includes patients already in hospital at the time of stroke. The management of continence is consistently highlighted by patients as being one of the most important aspects of care.

Key Indicator 9 Key indicators Bundle 1: Seen by a nurse and one therapist within 24 hours and all relevant therapists within 72 hours (proxy for NICE Quality Standard 5) –This is for stroke patients only. This includes patients already in hospital at the time of stroke. This is linked to NICE Quality Standard 5 but does not have 'documented multidisciplinary goals agreed within 5 days' which is part of the NICE Quality Standard. (This is because this is outside of SINAP’s 72 hour remit). Contents Page last viewed End Graph

Average 12 Key Indicators This is only a guide for where hospitals sit in relation to each other, and could be different if other key indicators are used. It is also a guide for hospitals in isolation, to see how much room there is for improvement and to look at which indicators in particular are making the overall score better or worse (therefore highlighting specific areas for praise or improvement). This average may also provide a useful indication of how the stroke service is performing over time. Contents Page last viewed End Graph
