Quality improvement project customizes nurse-led strategy to enhance thrombolytic treatment rates in stroke patients.

The project aimed to enhance collaboration between telestroke services and the hospital through a nurse-driven toolkit.
Developed a customizable toolkit for tracking thrombolytic usage and outcomes.
Utilized Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to test the intervention.
Conducted surveys pre- and post-intervention to assess hospital engagement with telestroke services.
Collected baseline data on treatment metrics and engagement over specific time periods.
Mean door-to-needle (DTN) times remained unchanged at 78 minutes before and after the intervention.
Thrombolytic treatment rates increased by 27% during the intervention period (2.9 vs. 2.25 patients per month).
Survey results indicated a 32% increase in hospital engagement with the telestroke clinical operations team.
