Evaluate the impact of the Smart Stroke Fast Track on door-to-needle time and workflow efficiency in acute ischemic stroke management.
Conducted a pre-post implementation study at Naresuan University Hospital
Compared data from AIS patients treated before and after SSFT implementation
Measured median door-to-needle time and key workflow time intervals
Analyzed secondary outcomes including treatment percentages and complications
Median door-to-needle time decreased from 57.5 minutes to 41.5 minutes (p < 0.001)
The proportion treated within 60 minutes increased from 60% to 100% (p=0.002)
Treatment within 45 minutes improved from 25% to 55% (p=0.053)
Key workflow intervals significantly reduced (all p < 0.05)
No significant differences in symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, in-hospital mortality, or neurological outcomes
