Abstract 21: Stroke Physician Report Cards Improve Physician Response Times for Thrombolytic Treatment [Session Title: Concurrent Session IIC: Oral Abstracts - Stroke]
Conclusion: The results show that direct, personal and comparative feedback to stroke physicians influences their page-to-response, page-to-needle times and may affect DTN times. There was a clear trend overall, and the page-to-response and page-to-needle times showed significant improvement. Though our numbers were too small to detect statistical significance for individuals, the benefit of improved treatment times is likely clinically significant.
