PSC performance measure gets new name
Stroke volume (STK-VOL) performance measure STK-VOL-1 is being renamed to Ischemic Stroke Patients Who Receive Mechanical Endovascular Reperfusion Therapy, removing the word “eligible” from the title.
This change relates to user feedback and distinguishes ischemic stroke patients who receive mechanical endovascular reperfusion therapy at a primary stroke center (that is, STK-VOL-1) from therapy-eligible ischemic stroke patients who are transferred to a higher-level stroke center for possible neuro-intervention and reported in stroke outpatient (STK-OP) performance measure STK-OP-1: Door to Transfer to Another Hospital.
These changes will be effective for discharges on and after Jan. 1, 2024.
