Hospital Implementation of a Stroke Protocol for Emergency Evaluation and Disposition

Description

Most stroke patients are initially evaluated at the closest hospital but some need to be transferred to a hospital that can provide more advanced care. The "Door-In-Door-Out" (DIDO) process at the first hospital can take time making transferred patients no longer able to get the advanced treatments. This study will help hospitals across the US "stand up" new ways to evaluate stroke patients, decide who needs to be transferred, and transfer them quickly for advanced treatment.

Conditions

Stroke, Acute, Ischemic Stroke, Acute, Hemorrhagic Stroke
