4 What is the systems of care? When it comes to stroke and heart disease, the systems of care incorporates the coordination of care along the following continuum: 1. Primary prevention 2. Notification and response of emergency medical services (911 and EMS) 3. Acute treatment 4. Sub-acute care and secondary prevention 5. Recovery and rehabilitation 6. Continuous quality improvement initiatives

5 Why are systems of care important? To prevent the incidence and death of stroke, it is important to address the whole system from prevention to rehabilitation. The health threats that the systems of care is designed to fight against are some of the leading causes of death in America. For example, stroke, heart attack, trauma. If every state implemented a strong systems of care, we could help reduce heart disease and stroke deaths among Americans by 20 percent by the year 2020.

6 What specific improvements can be made to the systems of care? States can officially recognize the best medical centers to treat stroke to ensure that the best care is delivered promptly States can develop a registry to track the response and outcome of each incident in order to discover and implement future improvements in the systems of care States can mandate the utilization of EMS transport protocols to ensure that all patients having signs or symptoms of stroke be transported to the nearest appropriate certified stroke center. Positive patient outcomes are reliant on specialized care and quick treatment that can be found in certified stroke hospitals

7 Stroke Systems of Care Study Committee Report (S*26) (November 30, 2010) Recommendation summary (Primary Recommendations are listed in bold) 1. Support evidenced-based policy and systems changes which promote stroke prevention such as increasing the number of hypertension specialists in SC. Support campaigns to enhance public education and awareness of stroke. Provide resources to implement strategies to reduce stroke treatment disparities. 2. Establish hospital designation based on level of stroke care through designation by DHEC so that EMS can transport patients to the most appropriate, facility. Fund a full-time position, to be managed through DHEC's EMS Division, to establish and monitor regulations relating to hospital designation. 3. Ensure tele-health coverage through both public and private Insurance providers. 4. Ensure adequate coverage by private and public payers (including Medicaid) to provide stroke rehabilitation in free-standing interdisciplinary rehabilitation hospitals and home health based on need. 5. Offer tax credits, or limited state income tax, for stroke rehabilitation professionals in underserved areas including physiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. 6. Establish a statewide stroke registry, which will capture and link data on pre-hospital, hospital, and rehabilitation services. 7. Establish a statewide stroke steering committee to evaluate Implementation, adherence, and continuous improvement of the recommended changes. 8. Establish a full-time position, to be managed through DHEC's Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Division, to implement the state stroke plan.

8 Stroke Systems of Care Act of 2011 Establish hospital designation Establish a statewide stroke registry EMS triage tool EMS transport protocols Establish a statewide stroke steering committee

9 Establish a Statewide Stroke Steering Committee

10 Stroke Advisory Council Responsible for advising the department through the Bureau of EMS on all things related to stroke systems of care within the State. Like the EMS advisory Council, the members of the Stroke Advisory Council have the power to bring issues before the Council, make motions, and vote on matters that they see appropriate. Advisory Councils within the State have tremendous power and influence on system development and improvement.

15 Accreditation Organizations

16 Primary Stroke Center Mostly urban and suburban Typically 300+ stroke patient admissions per year Same level of care 24/7/365 All attributes of acute stroke ready, plus.

17 Primary Stroke Center Collaboration with EMS providers. Access to stroke treatment & destination protocols. Provide support to remote area hospitals. Transfer protocols to primary or comprehensive stroke center, when needed.

18 Primary Stroke Center Neuroimaging 24/7 basis: Able to obtain brain image within 25 minutes and interpretation within 20 minutes of completion. Advanced imaging: MRI with diffusion Vascular imaging (MRA, CTA, carotid doppler) Cardiac imaging (TTE, TEE, or cardiac MRI)

19 Primary Stroke Center Laboratory Services: Stroke labs within 45 minutes from order on 24/7 basis. ECG and chest x-ray within 45 minutes from order, when clinically indicated. Outcome and quality improvement activities. Community educational programs.

20 Primary Stroke Center Neurosurgeon available within 2 hours of need identified. Or written transfer plan to facility with this capability. Operating room capability 24/7.

21 Primary Stroke Center Stroke Units Does not require specific enclosed unit, but must be a unit where majority of patients are admitted where staff have annual education & specialized experience in caring for the stroke patient.

22 Primary Stroke Center Rehabilitation Services: Speech Language Therapy Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Assessment and early initiation of a plan.

23 Primary Stroke Center, Metrics Stroke Core Measures Volume of Ischemic, TIA, ICH & SAH admits Acute Stroke workup times: Door to CT Door to lab results Door to EKG & CXR IV tpa volume, door to needle times

24 Must show that you deliver care based on these published guidelines.

25 Comprehensive Stroke Center Everything we ve discussed so far, plus Health care personnel with specific expertise in a number of disciplines, including neurosurgery and vascular neurology. Advanced neuroimaging capabilities, such as MRI and various types of cerebral angiography, 24/7/365, most within 30 minutes of clinical need. Surgical and endovascular techniques, including clipping and coiling of intracranial aneurysm, carotid endarterectomy and stenting, and endovascular treatments for ischemic stroke. Infrastructure and programmatic elements such as a dedicated neuro intensive care unit staffed with neurointensivists. Post hospital care coordination. Extensive data collection and peer review process. Participation in stroke research.

26 Comprehensive Stroke Center Increased data collection requirements. Examples: Ischemic stroke % of patients who received IV tpa in 60 minutes from arrival % who arrive in less than 6 hours of onset who were considered for endovascular tx 90 day modified Rankin scores Hemorrhagic stroke Initial severity scores documented (ICH & SAH) Procoagulant reversal times for ICH Median time from admit to surgical or endovascular tx for aneurysm % of patients who receive nimodipine within 24 hours of admit Serious complication and mortality rates for CEA, aneurysm coiling & clipping, carotid stents, thrombectomies, decompressive cranis, ventriculostomies, EVD s & transduced lines, cerebral angiograms. Follow-up calls on complex stroke patients within 7 days of discharge.

27 Comprehensive Stroke Center Enhances the ability to analyze and optimize how patients move through the system (EMS on through back into community). It allows for more team thinking of how we all work together to provide an efficient & optimal patient experience, rather than just thinking in silos about what occurs in and would work best for my own department. Regular communication among stakeholders through an organized committee/advisory group structure helps to reinforce the team concept, helps to identify common goals, sets clear priorities, and builds positive working relationships.

42 Stroke Systems of Care Does it make a difference? Compared to general hospitals, Primary Stroke Centers have: Higher tpa treatment rates Lower death rates Improved outcomes Being certified by an independent licensing body increases effectiveness of overall stroke care. The focus is on the entire continuum.
