Included: all patients are included in this indicator
Excluded: no patients are excluded from this indicator
Numerator = the number of patients who were assessed by a nurse trained in stroke management within 4 hours of clock start
Denominator = all the patients in the cohort. Patients who are not assessed by a nurse trained in stroke management are included in the denominator.
To calculate whether a patient is included in the numerator:
For newly arrived patients, the difference between the date and time of assessment by stroke nurse (Q 3.2) and date and time of arrival (Q 1.13) must be greater than or equal to 0 minutes and less than or equal to 240 minutes.
For patients already in hospital at the time of their stroke (Q 1.10 is ‘Yes’), the difference between the date and time of assessment by stroke nurse (Q 3.2) and the date and time of symptom onset (Q 1.11) must be greater or equal to 0 minutes and less than or equal to 240 minutes.
