Abstract 2319: Improving Inter-facility Transfer Times for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: The Stroke Rescue Program

Background and Purpose: The inter-facility transfer of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) must be rapid. Transfer delays increase the likelihood of exclusion from endovascular stroke therapy and therefore are an obstacle to time sensitive stroke treatments. Reducing transport times and improving transfer efficiency is integral to the success of a comprehensive stroke network. Methods: The Stroke Rescue...
