To explore whether timely feedback using the Time Tracker tool was associated with improved DTD times, mechanical thrombectomy data including DTD was collected and communicated to stroke care teams in April 2021. A retrospective review revealed that DTN times improved from 58.7% to 71.6 % for those receiving t-PA within 45 minutes or less during the period the tool was in use. Methods: In March 2020 the application of the ASA time tracker tool was introduced. Hypothesis: To explore whether the use of the American Stroke Association Time Tracker tool as a communication instrument is associated with improved DTN and DTD times in both direct and transfer patients. The emphasis is on the education of time targets to improve door to treatment times. The utilization of the ASA Stroke Time Tracker tool was created to improve communication in a timely manner to stroke teams providing acute treatment.

A mechanism to communicate time targets to code stroke teams can play an important role in providing knowledge about time sensitive metrics. Delays can significantly impact times to treatment. Introduction: The faster IV Alteplase and mechanical thrombectomy is initiated in acute ischemic stroke, the better the outcome.
