Mineola, N.Y.-based NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island cut time from door-to-activation of the neurointerventional radiology team by 12.5 minutes, or 35.2%, for patients with strokes.
The hospital asked medical residents, physician assistants and all members of the stroke team to participate in training at its simulation center, according to a June 10 system news release. There, providers interacted with and managed a simulated patient who is experiencing a stroke.
The training resulted in reduced activation time, a 10-minute reduction in door-to-arterial puncture time and a 6.5-minute cut in door-to-clot removal engagement.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
