Abstract 176: Door to Needle Targets in the Real World: A Dynamic Statistical Tool for Institutional Stroke Code Metrics [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusions: This simple statistical tool is a novel solution for generating an institution-specific goal DTN based on unique organizational data, experiences, and nuances in order to meet the recommended mean DTN. Additionally, these individualized goals may further motivate stroke teams to carry out more efficient clinical care rather than consistently aiming for DTN values < 60 minutes. The tool presented here is easily adaptable to future changes in recommended target goals and can be seamlessly incorporated into institution-wide systems planning.
