Included: all patients who are discharged alive from inpatient care are included in this indicator.
| Excluded: patients who died in inpatient care or who were transferred to another inpatient team are excluded from this indicator |
Numerator = the number of patients who were supported by a stroke skilled ESD team.
Denominator = all the discharged alive patients in the cohort. Patients who did not have the support of a stroke skilled ESD team are included in the denominator.
To calculate the numerator:
Count the number of patients who were discharged with a stroke/neurology specific Early Supported Discharge multidisciplinary team (Q 7.7 is “Yes, stroke/neurology specific”).
Cohort percentage:
| For team-centred | For patient-centred |
| All patients in the team-centred post-72h cohort who were discharged alive from inpatient care | All patients in the patient-centred post-72h cohort who were discharged alive from inpatient care |
Example
Patient V died in inpatient care and is excluded from this indicator.
Patient W was transferred to another inpatient team on SSNAP so is excluded from the indicator.
Patient X was discharged with the support of a stroke/neurology specific ESD team, and therefore achieved this indicator.
Patient Y was discharged with the support of a stroke/neurology specific ESD team, and therefore achieved this indicator.
Patient Z was discharged alive with the support of a non-specialist ESD team, and therefore did not achieve this indicator.
Therefore the cohort percentage is 0.67 or 67% or
