9. 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

13. 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.

17. 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

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
