Association of a Rapid TIA Inpatient Care Pathway with Quality Metrics at an Urban Academic Medical Center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) carries a high risk of stroke, necessitating immediate evaluation and risk modification. Patients in high-social determinants of health-burden communities often face barriers to rapid outpatient care, while inpatient admission can be resource-intensive and burdensome. We describe outcomes from a rapid TIA inpatient workflow (Rapid TIA) implemented at an urban academic medical center.

Methods

A retrospective single institution observational study of 411 consecutive patients admitted for TIA over 4 years in the Bronx, NY. Rapid TIA had 3 phases: (1) initial neurologic evaluation, (2) hospital admission and expedited implementation of care, and (3) transition to outpatient specialty care. We compared 6 variables related to care deliver
