AI Tenecteplase Decision Narrative: Drafting Last-Known-Well Eligibility Summaries
AI can draft tenecteplase decision narratives that organize last-known-well, NIHSS, imaging, and contraindication checks into one summary the stroke team can challenge before bolus.
11 min · Reviewed 2026
The premise
AI can draft tenecteplase decision narratives that organize last-known-well, NIHSS, imaging, and contraindication checks into one summary the stroke team can challenge before bolus.
What AI does well here
Restructure raw notes on stroke tenecteplase decision narrative into a coherent, decision-ready summary.
Surface unresolved questions that the inputs imply but the draft glosses over.
What AI cannot do
Decide which stakeholders need a separate conversation before the document lands.
Read the room when concerns are political, ethical, or relational rather than analytical.

A stroke team receives an AI-drafted tenecteplase decision narrative. What is the primary value the AI provides in this scenario?
It identifies the exact dose of tenecteplase to administer
It determines which family members should be interviewed
It restructures raw clinical notes into a coherent, decision-ready summary
It makes the final treatment decision for the patient
According to the clinical workflow described, what should happen after an AI-drafted narrative is produced but before tenecteplase is administered?
The AI should automatically proceed with the injection
The narrative should be sent to the patient's family for approval
The narrative should be filed without review
The stroke team must challenge and review the narrative before bolus
A draft tenecteplase decision narrative inherits a fuzzy last-known-well time from triage notes. What does the lesson warn this makes the eligibility window?
A minor detail
Precisely calculated
Fiction
More accurate
Which of the following is identified as something AI CANNOT do in the tenecteplase decision narrative context?
Decide which stakeholders need a separate conversation before the document lands
Organize NIHSS scores with imaging findings
Surface unresolved questions implied by the inputs
Restructure raw notes into a coherent summary
When an AI drafts a tenecteplase decision narrative, what type of questions should it surface for the clinical team?
Questions about the hospital's parking situation
Unresolved questions that the inputs imply but the draft glosses over
Questions about the nurse's shift schedule
Billing and reimbursement questions
In the context of AI-drafted stroke narratives, what does it mean for AI to be unable to 'read the room'?
AI cannot detect the political, ethical, or relational dimensions of a situation
AI cannot physically see the patient
AI cannot assess whether stakeholders have personal conflicts with each other
AI cannot calculate the correct dosage
A patient arrives at the ED with suspected stroke, and the last-known-well time is unclear from the initial triage notes. Based on the lesson, what should the team do before proceeding with tenecteplase?
Proceed with treatment using the best estimate available
Administer a lower dose as a precaution
Skip tenecteplase and proceed directly to thrombectomy
Re-interview the family to establish a clearer last-known-well time
Which of the following best describes why human review of AI-drafted stroke narratives remains essential?
AI cannot make clinical decisions and may miss contextual factors requiring human judgment
AI cannot type fast enough to keep up with the stroke team
AI drafts are always inaccurate and should be discarded
Hospitals are required to have humans review all AI output for legal reasons
The lesson mentions that AI drafting can 'gloss over' certain information. What does this mean in practice?
AI creates fictional details to fill in gaps
AI intentionally hides information from clinicians
The draft may present information without highlighting gaps or uncertainties that require attention
AI automatically corrects all errors in the source notes
In a stroke code scenario, who bears ultimate responsibility for the tenecteplase decision?
The stroke team physician
The AI system that drafted the narrative
The triage nurse
The patient's family
What does the term 'bolus' refer to in the context of tenecteplase administration?
A slow infusion over several hours
A follow-up dose given the next day
The initial rapid intravenous dose given immediately
A topical application
Which of the following elements should be integrated into an AI-drafted tenecteplase decision narrative?
The nurse's break schedule
Last-known-well, NIHSS, imaging findings, and contraindication checks
Only the patient's name and room number
The hospital's cafeteria menu
What distinguishes a 'decision-ready' summary from a standard clinical note?
It includes the patient's social history in detail
It is structured to highlight key decision points and outstanding questions requiring resolution
It is written in legal language
It is longer than traditional notes
A stroke team receives an AI-drafted narrative that mentions the patient has a history of recent surgery. Why is this significant?
It indicates the patient should receive double the standard dose
Recent surgery may be a contraindication to tenecteplase and requires verification
It is not significant - AI always makes errors
It means the patient automatically qualifies for treatment
What is the primary purpose of having two explicit decisions or asks in the AI-drafted narrative?
To clearly identify what must be resolved or confirmed before treatment proceeds
