Health Care System Factors for Stroke (Cerebrovascular Disease) Deaths
Health Care System Factors
Health care system factors that can continue to improve stroke mortality include:
# the identification and management of high blood pressure
# the establishment of stroke transport protocols for emergency medical services (EMS) agencies
# the certification of hospitals as Primary Stroke Centers, the designation of other stroke-ready hospitals as Stroke Receiving Facilities, and the use of telestroke to help hospitals provide prompt assessment and care of stroke patients
# the implementation of stroke treatment guidelines, such as the American Heart Association Get with the Guidelines--Stroke program, in hospitals throughout Utah
