How Shock-Ready Is Your Hospital? Δ Step 1 of 8 12% A quick self-assessment based on best practices and SCAI cardiogenic shock guidelines.This self-assessment survey is designed to help your hospital evaluate its current readiness for cardiogenic shock management. It is based on best practices and guidance from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) cardiogenic shock staging system. Your responses will generate a readiness score and highlight potential areas for development. Please note that this tool is for educational and planning purposes only and is not intended to provide medical advice or replace professional judgement. Instructions: – Choose one answer per question. – Review your score at the end. – Use the results to gauge your hospital’s readiness for hospital-wide cardiogenic shock surveillance and identify potential improvement areas. Does your hospital follow a protocol based on a cardiogenic shock classification system, such as SCAI stages A–E?(Required) Yes, we’ve implemented SCAI staging into our protocols across all care areas. Yes, but use is inconsistent or limited to certain teams (e.g., ICU, cardiology). We’re aware of SCAI guidelines but haven’t integrated them yet. No, we do not use a formal staging system. How integrated is your cardiogenic shock surveillance across the hospital?(Required) Fully integrated with centralised surveillance and shared dashboards across departments. Partially integrated – some units share risk or status info, others work in silos. Only the ICU or ED have consistent visibility into shock risk. Surveillance is isolated or informal. Have you set up multidisciplinary teams (ICU, cardiology, ED, nursing) to manage cardiogenic shock?(Required) Yes, with structured collaboration and shared decision-making protocols. Some collaboration exists, mainly in critical care or cardiac units. Communication is informal or inconsistent, Teams work independently with limited coordination. How often are cardiogenic shock cases reviewed for quality improvement?(Required) Regularly, with outcome tracking and integration into performance reviews. Periodically, but reviews aren’t always systematic. Rarely, and only in specific departments. Never or only after critical events. What technology supports shock recognition and response in your hospital?(Required) A platform combining real-time data, risk scoring, and predictive AI. Clinical decision support tools integrated into the EHRl. Manual tools or individual clinical judgement. No consistent technology support. Is there training for non-ICU clinicians and nurses on recognising and managing early-stage cardiogenic shock?(Required) Yes, with SCAI-informed education delivered across the hospital. Some teams receive training, but not consistently. Training is ad hoc or awareness-based. No formal training provided.
