ENCSN Quality Improvement Workgroup

Workgroup Goals (draft):

  • Promote QI to various groups: primary care providers, CCME, NC Alliance for Quality. Identify key professional groups, such as physician groups, to share ENCSN resources and invite them to join. Include NC Hospital Administration.
  • Promote NQI endorsed stroke core measures.
  • Promote other stroke interventions (moving beyond IV tPA to mechanical interventions such as MERCI, and pharmacological interventions such as IA tPA; establish referral process and protocols).
  • Promote patient-family centered care; feature patient success stories; feature survivors at meetings; talk to stroke coordinators and add a question to the "Beyond the Hospital" program.
  • Potential new goal: Focus on continuity of care and telemedicine, looking at comparisons of regional data and ROI.
