Implementing a Neurohospitalist Program Improves Stroke Care Metrics and Patient Satisfaction Scores.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Compare the differences in health outcomes and patient satisfaction between a neurohospitalist model of care and a community-based neurologists model at a single community-based teaching hospital among in-patients diagnosed with a cerebrovascular accident (CVA).

Methods

Data was collected from the Stamford Hospital's electronic medical records system. An assessment of patient health outcomes and satisfaction scores was conducted, comparing both discrete and continuous variables between the two time periods. An omnibus P-value of 0.05 (P < 0.05) was considered statistically significant.

Results

The sample consisted of 341 patients between the two periods, pre-period n = 168 (49.3%) post-period n = 173 (50.7%). Door to lab and door to tPA times d
