Patient-experience survey, three days after a stroke code.

Patient-experience survey, three days after a stroke code. 'How would you rate your visit?' The visit was forty minutes of eleven people running. There is no box on this form for 'the clot dissolved.' There is a box for parking. Send this to whoever ran the code with you.

EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)

Door-to-needle time is the standard quality measure for acute ischaemic stroke thrombolysis. Patient-experience surveys measure a different construct entirely and are not designed to capture whether the time-critical clinical intervention succeeded.

Established stroke quality metrics; standard patient-experience survey design.
