1. A stroke program coordinator asks an AI tool to analyze a recent stroke activation. Which task is within AI's demonstrated capability for this use case?

   1. Determining whether a 15-minute delay in imaging caused measurable harm to the patient
   2. Conducting the facilitated debrief session with the stroke team members
   3. Aggregating timestamps from system logs into a chronological narrative of the stroke alert
   4. Deciding which team member should receive additional training based on the delay

2. When an AI drafts a debrief document for a stroke activation with delays, what linguistic approach should it primarily use?

   1. Defensive language that protects the hospital from liability concerns
   2. Technical jargon that emphasizes the medical terminology of stroke care
   3. Individual-focused language that names specific team members who caused delays
   4. System-level language that describes process gaps without attributing fault to persons

3. A stroke activation shows a 20-minute gap between CT scan completion and IV tPA administration. What can AI appropriately contribute to analyzing this gap?

   1. Judging whether the neurologist should have accelerated the decision-making
   2. Determining whether the delay resulted in a worse neurological outcome for the patient
   3. Recommending disciplinary action for the radiology tech who performed the CT
   4. Calculating the exact time difference and identifying which step exceeded target

4. Who is responsible for leading the facilitated team debrief following a stroke activation?

   1. The senior neurologist on call
   2. The hospital quality improvement department
   3. The stroke program coordinator or designated facilitator
   4. The AI system that generated the debrief document

5. Why should debrief documents avoid naming individual team members when describing delays?

   1. To maintain HIPAA compliance regarding patient information
   2. To protect the hospital from potential lawsuits
   3. Because individuals cannot legally be held accountable for system delays
   4. Because naming individuals creates a chilling effect that reduces future incident reporting

6. An AI analyzes a stroke activation and identifies three potential improvements. How should these be presented in the debrief document?

   1. Ranked by feasibility for implementation
   2. Randomly ordered to avoid bias
   3. All equally weighted without prioritization
   4. Ranked by potential impact on patient outcomes

7. What does the acronym DTN stand for in stroke care context?

   1. Direct Thrombolysis Navigation
   2. Door-to-Needle time
   3. Department Triage Number
   4. Diagnostic Treatment Notification

8. A stroke activation experienced delays because the CT scanner was already in use for another emergency. How should this be framed in an AI-generated debrief document?

   1. As the radiology technologist's fault for not prioritizing stroke patients
   2. As a system-level resource contention issue between emergency services
   3. As equipment failure requiring capital budget replacement
   4. As an unexpected complication that requires no further analysis

9. Which statement best describes the appropriate scope of AI in stroke activation quality improvement?

   1. AI can fully replace human quality review committees
   2. AI can determine which patients deserve faster treatment
   3. AI can identify patterns and draft documents but cannot make clinical judgments
   4. AI should make final decisions about individual performance reviews

10. What is the primary purpose of a post-stroke-activation debrief document?

    1. To identify system-level improvement opportunities
    2. To rate individual team member performance
    3. To create a legal record protecting the hospital
    4. To assign blame for any delays that occurred

11. When an AI drafts language about a delay in obtaining consent, which phrasing represents the recommended approach?

    1. The patient's family was uncooperative during consent discussions
    2. The consent form was not readily available in the stroke unit
    3. The physician failed to obtain timely consent from the patient
    4. Consent process delays contributed to overall DTN extension

12. What type of data does AI primarily aggregate to create a DTN narrative?

    1. Nursing verbal reports
    2. Physician handwritten notes
    3. System timestamps from various hospital IT systems
    4. Patient vital signs and laboratory values

13. Why can't AI replace the facilitated team debrief session?

    1. Because human interaction allows for nuanced discussion, clarification, and team learning that AI cannot facilitate
    2. Because AI cannot access the hospital's electronic health records
    3. Because AI-generated documents are not legally admissible
    4. Because the stroke program coordinator has union protection

14. In a gap analysis of stroke activation timing, what is AI comparing against?

    1. Insurance company benchmarks
    2. The team's performance in previous years
    3. Other hospitals' publicly reported data
    4. Evidence-based target times for each stroke activation phase

15. A stroke program wants to implement improvements suggested by AI analysis. What should guide the prioritization of these improvements?

    1. Alphabetical order of the improvement descriptions
    2. The cost of each improvement regardless of implementation complexity
    3. The order in which AI identified them
    4. Feasibility of implementation and potential impact
