MAGNET TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AWARD
The Magnet Transformational Leadership Award went to “Neuro-Alert: Hemorrhagic Stroke Expedited Transfer Process from ED to NCCU.”
Eight awards were related to Christiana Care’s Magnet hospital accreditation goals in the categories of Transformational Leadership, Exemplary Professional Practice, New Knowledge and Structural Empowerment. The winning
project of the Magnet Transformational Leadership Award, “Neuro-Alert: Hemorrhagic Stroke Expedited Transfer Process from ED to NCCU," aimed
to decrease emergency department length of stay, improve patient outcomes, increase patient safety and facilitate collaboration and communication across departments. A collaborative effort involving the Christiana Hospital Emergency Department and the Neuro Critical Care Unit (NCCU), the team developed a neuro-alert process for non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhages to reduce transfer times and bring the neuro-critical care team immediately to the ED bedside. Overall results were a mean ED arrival to NCCU arrival time decreased by 60 minutes; ED arrival to NCCU consult decreased by 37 minutes; NCCU consult to NCCU arrival decreased by 58 minutes; and CT Completion time to NCCU arrival decreased by 44 minutes.
More than 300 people attended the 15th annual celebration
