The common symptoms include sudden loss of speech, weakness, or paralysis of one side of the body. Other symptoms could include black-out, sudden loss of vision, problems with balance and coordination, and difficulty in swallowing. It could be a cause of mortality and morbidity, if not treated in time. The field of stroke medicine has changed considerably in recent years with the development of hyperacute treatments such as thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and measures of secondary prevention. There are challenges in the diagnosis and management process due to the complex need and urgency of the patient treatment. The management of Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital using the assembly line technique proactively took a project of prompt and comprehensive management of stroke patients; in fact, a special emergency response code—“Code White”—was created to handle patients with stroke during emergency. The doctors, staff and administrative staff were sensitized and trained, and simulation exercises done for quick diagnosis, effective delivery of treatment, and to expedite the procedure. The doctors also prepared skits to train the resident doctors and the nursing staff. This article will review the measures taken, effectiveness of multidisciplinary approach of Code White in the treatment of patients with stroke.","PeriodicalId":405189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124698362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Registration of new patients at front desk is one such place. Delays in the registration process can have an unwanted effect on patient-hospital relationship. Hence, it is important to reduce the delay. Aim: To identify various reasons for delay in the registration process of a multispecialty hospital, and develop a statistical model to estimate number of desks to be operated to reduce the wait time. Materials and methods: In a period of two weeks, a total of 923 new patient registrations were observed to collect the time consumed for various events of the registration process. Correlation analysis and statistical modelling are used in the study. Results and discussion: It was found that various factors such as literacy level of patients, mode of payments, age etc. do not show significant correlation with the registration time, except for the hourly patient load. The number of patients arriving in an hour (patient load) showed a significant correlation, suggesting that number of desks operated on regular basis was not sufficient to handle occasional high loads. A simple model that accounts for hourly patient load, estimating the number of desks to be operated in a given hour, to minimize the wait times at registration desk has been suggested. Conclusion: The model indicates that in the current setting, most of the times the resources were either underutilized or overloaded. The delays in registration process can be reduced by operating optimal number of desks as determined by the proposed model (i.e. function of hourly patient load).","PeriodicalId":405189,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research Foundation of Hospital and Healthcare Administration","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121804729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
