ESVS Clinical Guidelines vs StrokeClock 3

The European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines app collects together the recently published clinical practice guidelines written by the experts in the field. The guidelines can be found in easily readable form for easy use in everyday practice. The recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of vascular surgical diseases are readily available. The app contains the original text of the guidelines describing also the evidence behind the recommendations. Interactive algorithms, calculators, and scores have been added to assist the user in clinical daily work. The app enables easy navigation, searches within the app, bookmarking the useful pages, and taking notes. Once downloaded, the app can be used offline.

The StrokeClock App offered by the StrokeCenter Bern, Switzerland, allows continuous monitoring of the stroke treatment workflow in Stroke Centers and Stroke Units. The time points measured (i.e. hospital arrival, start IVT) are adjustable which allows perfect adaption to local needs. The statistical tool included in the app can be used to identify critical time-consuming processes within the stroke treatment workflow. The StrokeClock App can be used in two modes: - Local mode: In local mode data is stored locally and send to a pre-specified email address (CSV file). - Dashboard mode (activated by entering user data from www.strokeclock.ch within the settings). In Dashboard Mode Data is transferred real-time to a password-protected internet accessible database: o The dashboard gives overview on the current treated patients and the actual time point within the workflow. o A statistical tool can be used to identify critical time-consuming processes within the stroke treatment workflow. o Dashboard mode allows a multiuser usage for large Stroke Centers. o Database can be exported (CSV file).
